Each farming year I have a favorite day; It's the day I find the first ripe peach in my orchard.
Today (may 12) was the earliest date in recent memory that I have found a ripe peach to eat.
Apparently nature shifted our harvest date forward 15 days.
Although I eat dozens of peaches during the course of the season, it seems like the first peach
has an especially good flavor and texture. Over the course of many seasons of finding the first
ripe peach, I have made it a habit to offering a prayer of thanks
and a petition for a full and plentiful harvest.
