We had a lot going on this weekend.
Logan had his first riding lesson in a long time. He sprained his ankle back really badly back in May and had been in a boot and then on restriction since then. He was glad to get back in the saddle on a hot Saturday.
After the riding lesson we loaded up in the car and headed off to Livesay Orchards out in the boonies about 45 minutes southeast of Tulsa. We hadn’t been there since Logan was a baby and man is it popular. We ended up in a group of nine cars headed out there and when we got there we found out there was a line to get in. The line moved fast though. I mean they are selling mainly peaches so it doesn’t take long for people to pick out what they want and move on.
And man where their peaches, bushels, pecks, half pecks anything you wanted as long as it was peach related.
After that we headed cross country to the ‘burb of Bixby to Dotson’s Produce and picked out some Amish Tomatoes. I never did figure out if that was a type of tomato or the religion of the farmer that grew them.
Dotson’s had all sorts of other produce. We tend to go crazy in a place like that.
We decided to counterbalance all healthful vibe of the produce with some Hawaiian Ice which is Okie for ice cream cone at a place nearby. Part of the fun is waiting in the heat. Is it against the law for those places to provide shade for their customers?
Sunday was church, seeing the movie “Ant-Man” with one of Logan’s friends and then an historic occasion. Logan left with his friend, with his friend driving. First time that happened!
Then Heather and I had dinner and drinks with some friends and then out to pick up Logan out in the country.
So we ended the weekend with a nice crescent moon.
So our weekend was great, how was yours?
Went and saw Music Man yesterday with J-. Heavy thunderstorms all evening massive lightening, boomers and downpours. All afternoon, really. The weekend ended with a BANG you might say.
Those peaches look sooo good. It was too hot here to go anywhere so I stayed indoors and cleaned and straightened the laundry room shelves. ;))
Oh, yes! Those peaches do look delicious — wish I had one for my breakfast this morning!! A fun weekend for all!! We’re getting a bit of a break in the amazing heat wave we’ve had here in the northwest and I’m enjoying a COOL morning!! Have a great new week!!
I bet that was scary having Logan drive away with a friend! He’s growing up! Yummy peaches – I need to check if our Palisade Peaches are in at the Farmer’s Market. Our son, Gregg, has been with us for 3 days doing a charity bike ride for Denver’s Children’s Hospital. He’s here without family this time, so we sit and talk when he gets back from his ride. It’s been a nice visit.
I am glad Logan is back on the horse again. The peaches and tomatoes look delicious. We are having a hot, humid day so some Hawaiian Ice would be perfect right now. Enjoy your new week ahead!
Sounds like a perfect weekend. I’m glad Logan is riding again.
I love a good produce stand. It’s always fun to buy way too much of all the beautiful fresh fruit and veggies.
You had a lovely weekend.
Those peaches look so luscious, Yogi! I probably would have bought too many of them.Someday my husband and I want to drive to Grand Junction on the other side of the Rockies, as that is where CO peaches grow–and vineyards too!
I’m sure it was strange to send Logan off in a car with one of his friends driving! Milestones….
Nothing beats the taste of fresh produce. Have a great week.
What delicious looking peaches. Hope you pigged out on them!
I enjoyed reading about your weekend. Yummy looking peaches. Has me wanting peaches now. 🙂
Take 25 to Hollister
All that fresh produce has me drooling. Not something I can easily find around here. Glad Logan is back to riding.
