Last week we went to visit an orchard to pick fresh peaches with our friend. The kids were so excited when they saw the round and plump peaches on the branches. They were running under the trees, trying to look for a big peach to savour. My friend and I also went through the branches, looking for the peaches were big but not too ripe.
Perhaps it might not be the season, many of the peaches were still rather small and tough. Though we had a great time hanging out at the orchard.
