From Blossoms<\/strong><\/h2>\n

From blossoms comes<\/p>\n

this brown paper bag of peaches<\/p>\n

we bought from the boy<\/p>\n

at the bend in the road<\/p>\n

where we turned toward the signs painted Peaches.<\/p>\n

From laden boughs, from hands,<\/p>\n

from sweet fellowship in the bins,<\/p>\n

comes nectar at the roadside,<\/p>\n

succulent peaches we devour, dusty skin and all,<\/p>\n

comes the familiar dust of summer<\/p>\n

dust we eat.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Li-Young Lee<\/p>\n

This poem reminds me of every August of my life when peaches were at every farm market and then at our family events. I love whole peaches, cut up peaches in a bowl, Cheerios with peaches, peaches on ice cream and waffles, and in shortcake with whipped cream. I can\u2019t say no to a homemade peach milkshake.<\/p>\n

Recently I watched a YouTube video from Bon Appetit featuring a surprisingly easy and delicious strawberry shortcake recipe. Of course, when I made this shortcake, I substituted peaches for the topping. It\u2019s a simple recipe as the ingredients are easy to find and pulling the shortcake together is a tactile experience. My family loved it, and I hope you will, too!<\/p>\n
