Peaches in the Summertime

So I was driving to work this morning, listening to the Be Good Tanyas on NPR, when the announcer noted that the Chattanooga Market has started a new Thursday Farmer's Market in Miller Plaza. It runs every Thursday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. This was conviniently timed (I've been coming in tardy for work lately), so I decided to stop by. I ended up buying two small flats of peaches from Gilliland Peach Orchard and bringing them in to work. They look mighty tasty: they're soft to the touch, a deep auburn color, and some are almost as big as my fist. Each flat has at least 20 peaches, for just five bucks. So if you're in the mood for fresh, locally grown fruit, you've still got two hours to head downtown.

This is just to say
I have eaten
the, er, "peaches"
that were in
the icebox

and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast

Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold


sorry, you just reminded me of that poem with your post and i couldn't help sharing.
