Early Peaches

We stopped on the way home from the mountains to buy local peaches and bought these Ruby Prince  beauties. Kalawi Farms, a favorite orchard, is also known for "Ben's homemade ice cream" but Bill and I avoided the temptation and quickly returned to the car before even looking at the list of today's flavors.

The peaches here are ripening early due to the mild winter and spring weather. It may be a short season for peaches because they will finish earler than usual, too.
