Labyrinth: Jared/Sarah
Laugh at yourself, but don't ever aim your doubt at yourself.
Be bold. When you embark for strange places, don't leave any of
yourself safely on shore. Have the nerve to go into unexplored
territory.
~ Alan Alda

Lovely morning. Here's what I picked from the tree, not ten minutes ago. Shall eat breakfast like a woodland princess! And then throw myself back into the abyss o' words.

Those are so beautiful. The perfect shade of...well...peach. Store bought peaches never have that rosy blush of sunshine on their cheeks.

They're delicious, too. I can't even describe it -- but this is the first year when they've really come out so nicely.

if you need peach ideas...
I got peaches from the farmers' market, and made this with them, courtesy of an internet friend:

Peach Cake
1 cup of unsalted butter
2 cups of all purpose flour
1 1/2 cups of sugar
3 large eggs
1 tsp of salt
1 tsp of baking soda
1 tsp of cinnamon
2 tbsp of milk
2 cups of sliced, peeled fresh peaches or nectarines or 1 - 16 ounce can of sliced peaches, drained
1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans
Preheat to 375 degrees F. Lightly butter and flour a 13 by 9 inch baking dish.
Cream the cup of butter and the sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
Beat the eggs one at a time. Continue beating until pale yellow and fluffy.
Sift the flour, salt, baking soda and cinnamon into a separate bowl. Fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture.
Fold in the milk, then fold in the peaches and walnuts.
Pour the batter into the baking dish.
Bake until a cake tester or toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
Cool the cake before slicing it. Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream.
