Death defying peach cobbler
We had another stormy day today. Satellite radar
showed rain and storms across the coastal bend. Cathi returned from the Huser's
this afternoon with news that a Tornado had been spotted in Live Oak County. We
later learned it touched down in Dinero, just west of Skidmore.
Our trees are loaded down with the
largest peaches I've seen in the four years we've lived here. Cathi sent me out
to pick some earlier this afternoon. She ended up baking three cobblers, one for
us, one for the Husers, and a small one for Grandma. Midway through the project,
she decided she needed more fruit. "I'm not going out in that" I said as thunder
rumbled outside. A little later, Joshua informed me "Dad! Mom is outside picking
peaches!" I found her and Zach circling the same tree from which I picked
peaches earlier and the three of us managed to gather another bunch and hustle
back inside without getting electrocuted. The boys seemed to really enjoy the
cobbler, which I found surprising as they've never voluntarily eaten one before.
Grandma returned the favor with a gift of delicious homemade pecan pralines and
a bag of oranges.
