Peachy Dreams

I was craving some fresh picked peaches like the ones I used to pick growing up. I could almost smell the warm scent of the summer heat on the ripe fruit. I am drooling over the dream of tasting the sweet, sticky juice. I'm in the mood to make some peach pies, peach preserves, but no fresh peaches to be had. I'll be counting down the days until they are ready for picking. Frozen and can peaches just aren't the same. I've eaten up all my dehydrated slices I make for healthy snacking, better than candy. Guess I'll just be dreaming until then! Doesn't help I've some rosy peach colored roses blooming in the garden. I might just eat some of those and make a tasty salad of the petals. I am planning my orchard list now of all the fruit trees I will plant in the next few years after we move. I am so dreaming of that garden of delights. I'll have some hammocks and easels set about, and benches to get cosy, so much fun and art inspiration to do with it all. Meanwhile, I'll dream of peaches, if not, well nectarines!

LOL - I know exactly what you mean in regards to fresh picked peaches - oh the best - such a beautiful design - I love the fresh colors! Great job!

Artist Reply: LOL! Thank you MJ! SOme of my friends fussed at me for making them crave peaches, but I couldn't help it. I will be planting a variety of peaches in my new home & garden. I am drooling and going nuts browsing catalogs for varieties. I will be adding more fruits each year until I run out of space- lucky me, I've at least 5 acres I can garden on. I will donate surplus to friends and the local food banks. I love dehydrated peach slices! Yum!

Sweet design

Artist Reply: Thanks By Silent for your comments on this design. I so love playing with textures and designs, never knowing what I will come up with.

Very interesting, cool colors.

Artist Reply: Thanks so much Robin! I made myself hungry and am still dreaming of peaches. I'll have to go to the store for some imported ones. Not the same as picking your own, but will have to do.

GEE, THANKS TERRY, THERE GOES MY DIET! HA HA HA. . .J/K THIS IMAGE OF YOUR DESIGN HAS ME CHOCO-CRAZED NOW, BEAUTIFUL!

Artist Reply: Well Joanna, chocolate is full of healthy benifets, if we could just knock out the sugar and caffiene. I am planning on growing my own peaches when I move, and can't wait. Right off the tree ripe is nothing better. I am going to have to try some chocolate peach deserts or make up my own. Diet? Ha! Trade off the calories for a long walk. Eat as you go, he he.
