Buying local peaches, corn, tomatoes and more

This is my kitchen table and it is pretty much the way it has looked the last several days.
I keep going to the local orchard and buying a half bushel of peaches, coming home, and making peach crisp, peach jam, freezing sliced peaches, keeping sliced peaches in the fridge and primarily allowing them to ripen on the counter.
Oh the sweet sweet smell of fresh peaches, grown locally, and ripening naturally under my fingers.
It's really a pleasure and delight of August. But the problem is I keep going back and getting another bushel or half bushel. And $15 a bushel is what I've been paying. Compare that to the several lbs of peaches you buy in the grocery. It's simply amazing.
Right now on my back deck I have a bushel of sweet corn waiting to be husked, blanched and frozen. I went with my dad early this morning, right after sunrise, and I bought the corn from the farmer who had just pulled it off the stalk. Amazing.
Soon it will be in my freezer.
I have a large bag of apples sitting in my garage waiting to be made into applesauce to go in the freezer.
I also have been buying my tomatoes down the road at a roadside stand of another local farmer. It's wonderful and intoxicating. I am not wanting this gardening weather to end, because then I know the taste of tomatoes fresh off of the vine, will only be a memory of summer.
It's wonderful to live close to people who garden and have orchards. I love it.
