| | My 5-fingers are good for peach pickin’ too… love feeling the earth as I walked the rows |
 |
| Harper, Texas, lined with American flags on the highway… a beautiful drive! | |
 |
| Rows and rows and rows in the early morning light |
 |
| I LOVE peaches! |
 |
| Hiding in the shadows of the trees |
 |
| This way! |
 |
| A beautiful sunny day in Fredricksburg, Texas! |
 |
| My spoils for the day… homegrown tomatoes, cantalope, hand-picked peaches, and fresh honey… well, yum! |
 |
| They sell a lot of veggies |
 |
| Nothing more beautiful than a peach saying ‘pick me!’ |
 |
| From Hwy 87… follow the signs to Marburger | |
When I was raising my four beautiful children, we took many road trips to Fredricksburg, Texas to pick peaches in the early morning hours. I would pile them in the car (many times with friends or cousins) and away we would go… they would sleep, and I would drive the hour to Marburger Orchard.
After returning to San Antonio, they would set up a peach stand in our neighborhood and sell peaches and coca-cola, making their own spending money for our upcoming cross-country car vacations and summer adventures.
Now with four wonderful adults, and two beautiful daughter-in-laws, life is different… and I still love my peach picking! After a glorious 4th of July evening that started in Comfort, Texas with lots of people, I drove to a friend’s ranch close to Harper and spent a restorative quiet evening in the Texas Hill Country… night sounds, full moon, cool breeze, crisp smells, thunderstorm! … you can take the city out of the girl, but not the country… I love to be outside. This morning found me heading through Harper to Fredricksburg, and Marburger’s… ahhhhh! Peaches!!!!
Treat yourself to a road trip… a de-light for the senses
