Just a Peachy Day around Here!:)

Back when my grandaddy was living, one of his prize possessions was his fruit trees. And towards the end, when he was too weak to take care of them, Britt would go over to his house and spray his trees for him every two weeks. It brought grandaddy such cheer to see someone taking care of them when he was down...and we knew that it was a good way to keep his spirits up as well....miss you grandaddy....

The first summer since grandaddy's been gone has been a hard one on all of us....But, Britt has continued to go out there and spray his fruit trees...just because.....And I'm sure grandaddy is watching and smiling!:)

I like to even think that God sprinkled a few more blossoms on them this year to remind us of His love and to keep grandaddy's memory alive:)

The peaches are beautiful and abundant! Thank you Lord for your Blessings!
