peer pressure.

i did it again - i succumbed to outside pressures. i have joined the world of bloggers. not sure yet what direction this blogging will take me - both my sisters have good reason for their blogs: they have children and families and stories to constantly update friends and family with. maybe i can get some of my friends to follow suit - though their lack of emails tells me otherwise, that it is only wishful thinking. but for the mere satisfaction of those who've requested my participation, it is worth it.

our family has taken to behaving illegally as of late. it all started with my mother. she came home bragging one evening about how she and her friend had picked delicious peaches at the old russel orchard farm...despite "do not enter" signs. there is no stopping her sometimes. then, to make things worse, she promised her granddaughters (my nieces) that they could go next time. sure enough. a few days later the three sister - liesl, kate and jill - and the two little ones - greta and elizabeth - were trespassing. not just one or two peaches, or even a bag of peaches. two full bags of peaches were picked. to top things off, who of all people drove by as we were exiting from the fences? a cop. either he didn't see us, or he pretended not to.

so our summer has been full of country experiences. the aroma as we walked though the peach trees was almost as good as a juicy bite. the saturday prior, we had other such aromas and tastes - the sussex county fair.
