Peaches and Raindrops

Savoring the last days of summer means:

1) Eating very ripe peaches OUTSIDE in the grass, barefoot.
2) Letting the juice dribble all down your chin and then rubbing it into your hair for that, "Yes, I just ate a peach outside with Mommy" scent.
3) Attempting to pick up and eat the raindrops that suddenly fall on your peach picnic.
4) Blowing sloppy peach juice kisses at the man pulling up in the fancy sports car, with shoes worth more than Mommy's entire wardrobe, talking on the most expensive cell phone on the market and who fails to notice the summer loving, barefooted, peach eating princess who is fairly certain that the last mouthful of peach is worth more than all the money in the world!
