Look What We Found....

We have lived in our home for over 6 years. We had no idea there were about 20 peach trees on the property. Well, actually, its the church's property. We live on 2 acres that the church gave us and we are surrounded with 32 acres that belong to the church my husband pastors.

I can't believe we have lived here this long and didn't know. The trees were loaded with sweet South Carolina peaches. Yes, there is a difference.

My son and another minister in our church went up to the trees Monday and loaded up 2 wheelbarrows full. They said there was at least 20 more wheelbarrow loads up there. Wow!!

What to do with all those peaches. Make jellies, jams, preserves, cobblers, and pies of course. So far I've only managed to can 7 half pints of peach preserves.

These brave guys endure the mosquitoes, chiggers, and bees up there to get these sweet peaches.
