Peaches

Theme: favorite seasonal flavor
From Allyson Piper's Permission to Play Challenge

I can feel the flavor
Flooding my senses
Mouth full before I even 
Take a bite

The season’s here
I smell it in the store
Fresh explosions
Orange, rosa, y rojo

Lovely little rounds
Grace the tops of tables
I pull one close
Sniff deep and take a bite

What are your favorites?
Peaches or nectarines? Yellow or white? Whole or sliced?
We love, love, love peaches over here! Tony likes them whole, dripping sweetness down his hands. Our tree isn’t quite ripe yet but one of my favorite parts of summer is seeing Tony be able to pick a peach right off the tree and enjoy the flavors of summer right in his own backyard.
