Peach Season 🍑

It's that time of year again… time for fresh, ripe, juicy peaches. Next week, I'm getting a box full of ‘em, off a truck straight from Georgia.

I can't wait. Can't wait to feel the soft fuzz as I pick one up, admiring nature's perfection a centimeter at a time. Gently tracing the line leading to its stem with my fingertip, the elegant curves of the thing giving just slightly with a bit of pressure…

Breathing in that sweetest of fragrances before bringing it to my mouth, sucking gently to keep from losing even a drop of that delicious juice… some finding it's way down my chin anyways. Savoring the flavor, unquestionably the most delicious thing on this magnificent planet of ours. Taking my time, lips wrapping against it while that juicy flesh is balanced on the tip of my tongue.

Oh yes, I intend to enjoy that peach, as nature so clearly intended. Enjoy it so very thoroughly, for as long as it lasts, for as long as it can stand. Enjoy every moment I can with it.

Oh, my love, I've never been so ready for peach season. Never looked forward to enjoying it with quite so much anticipation. Never ached for it, as I do now. Can't fathom how I'll survive until then. Lord, I can't frickin' wait.
