...And by high places, I mean trees, more specifically, fruit trees. I don't know if they are necessarily in these trees, but they are definitely picking fruit from them (Although I could see David Seay up in a tree!)
What is all of this mumbling about you may be asking yourself. Well, I just spent the last 8 1/2 hours canning some glorious fruit (8 pints of apples and 3 pints of peaches), so I'm a little loopy.
Anyway, the apples are beautiful green apples from the Seay Tree (also known as the apple tree in David and Karen Seay's yard) and the peaches are lovely white peaches from the Arbre de St. Louis (also known as the peach tree in Summer and Spencer St. Louis's yard). I am ever so grateful for this 'forbidden' fruit (it is only forbidden to eat until at least December or January, so I can enjoy apple pie and peach cobbler featuring fruit from Kansas in the dead of our frigid winter).
I was also able to save a ton of the peach juice that I used to fill the jars, which I will be taking with me to make Bellini's this weekend at the party at Glinn Gardens. OOOOHHHH! I can't wait to share some of my sweet, peachy concoction with my dear friends and their friends (along with a Minted Peach Salsa...I know, I am crazy for peaches right now, but I just can't help it!!!)
Hope you are enjoying your summer! xoxo
