peaches!

here we are, in the middle of september, the first day of fall come and gone. and, we are up to our necks in peaches. they are late this year and there was a bumper crop. i talked to a farmer yesterday adn he said they are doing all they can to sell or even give them away. they are going to rot on in the fields. to me this is a food tragedy. where can they go? why can't the school system buy these and feed fresh peaches to kids? why can't they be frozen for desserts later in the year? is there somethign i can do? ...as i try to brainstorm, and eat the peach on my desk, i'll listen to peaches for inspiration... this song reminds me of high school, driving around singing "millions of peaches, peaches for me, millions of peaches, peaches for free" and thinking about how wonderful that'd be. oh, how all dreams come true!



ps. and what's with a.) the peaches on the bamboo type tree and b.) the peach ninjas?
