We're Havin' A Heat Wave!

Last night we drove from Olympia to Pateros so we could get an early start on the day, hoping to beat a little bit of the heat and Sunday homeward bound traffic.  So much for plans.....the weather prognosticators say it's going to hit 91 degrees in Olympia today, with only a five degree increase over that here in Eastern Washington; and the rest of the week looks about the same.  Lucky for us we're bringing back the first peach of the season, all cool, sweet and drippin' with juice.  Queen Crest is an early cling peach that we get from Rest-A-While in Pateros, and at 7:30 this morning, when it was already 70 degrees and climbing, the snap of the skin and rush of sweet peach flavor reminded me once again why we do this crazy thing we do.  Oh, and did I mention, it's organic?  That's right....pretty hard to beat such a summer gem as this one.
Of course, pair it up with the freshly picked organic Rainier cherries we're heading off to get in Omak and you're set for a delicious, refreshing party in your mouth.  Come on out to the Fruit Stand and get yours before the rush of the holiday hits.  See you Tuesday!
