Labor Day peach picking & picnicing


Most of the time we spend Labor Day not doing much labor, but this time we managed to get quite a bit done and still had some time left for some fun. We got up and went out to the church peach orchard to join all of the many other gleaners. We brought home quite a load of peaches and then set to work making jam, freezing peaches ready to make jam later and freezing peaches for later eating. We got lots done and then headed off for a picnic at Christie's folks cabin in Pine Valley. We brought the Borrowman grand kids with us minus Koen. Ryan was on call so he and Ferf and Koen went on a date and stayed local in case he got called out. Moss and Paul cooked up some good BBQ chicken and Dutch oven potatoes and I burned up some corn to go with it (went outside to play with the kids and forgot about it) and there was also a really good Green River melon. We stopped in at Veyo Pies on the way and got pie for dessert. It was cool, uncrowded and relaxing. We took a little stroll down to check out some noisy cows that were not happy to have been taken out of a lush green field and corralled. They were protesting the situation with much mooing! Thanks Moss and Christie for the nice evening after our peachy morning labors.
