Walk the Walk

What a cool day for a walk.

We are enjoying what can be identified as Bay Area weather this week. It even rained the night of graduation (Thursday) luckily for most events it occurred after the ceremony.

The walk this morning reminded me of the early morning peach season days in Grand Junction. There is a little humidity in the air but nothing to be concerned about. I gentle breeze makes me wish I had a sailboat. I don't wish that I have the hassle that is involved with keeping one up.

The Bonanza peach in the front yard is starting to show fruit with actual red on it. I figure that it will be two weeks before the fruit will be ripe enough to pick. There is a great little crop on it. It was one of the first trees that I planted in the front yard 29 years ago. Bob and Michael Sue and family gave it to us as a house warming gift. It is a genuine genetic dwarf. This year's configuration has it producing fruit all the way up to its eight foot maximum. It still thinks that it is a full size tree and tries to lay in a huge crop of fruit. I let it have a few more than I probably should this year. The thinning gap between each fruit was at least six inches. Its hard to believe that now. I have been enjoying the jam I made from the bounty of this tree all year.

This weekend my goal it to get the backyard ready for canning. I need to clear out weeds and make it safe for the outside stove to work. There is also a lot of weekend put away kind of job around the house. I cannot believe that we are both people that are not inclined to put away our projects when we are done. So there is always pick up and put away jobs that were started and complete or maybe just started throughout the house.

I hope you get your weekend goals completed in time for some fun!
