You Ain't in Georgia Anymore, Dorothy!
Yep, you heard that right! Louisiana has peaches, too
Ah, June in north Louisiana...can I say say: hot, humid, and rainy?
What else comes to mind? The Annual Peach Festival & all its miscellany!
Everybody from miles around comes to gather for the fun, music, and art,
But me? Call me old-fashioned... the peach ice cream is dear to my heart!
Peaches have been a tradition here in these parts since way back in 1930...
Farmers thought showing off and tasting their goods might cause a spree!
Those juicy, fuzzy, sweet delights can be smelled and savored all around!
We've come to celebrate and give homage to the goodness that abounds.
Come close and I'll let you in a little surprise about me as a teen:
I sold baskets of peaches at a roadside stand and thought I was so keen!
This was done for Mike's Summer Solstice Challenge!
