Who’s on first?

and they make sounds

I wish I were able to post a picture here that I took once. I was at an outdoor market in Nazareth. There was a plastic basket full of oranges that was labeled “Beat & Carrot” (sic.)

Better to find out on the first day.

Don’t buy unripe peaches expecting them to get ripe. The won’t. Peaches will only ripen on the tree.

Snerk! Possibly baseballs! Ha Ha Ha!

Could be Nectarines (same size no fuzz) or Apricots (smaller size with fuzz) and they only had a Peach box to put them in.

It will be his first and last day…………

Hey, but they got to the supermarket unbruised!

Allow 24 days to get infested with fruit flies.

I was traveling on a back road and missed lunch so I was hungry. Saw a fruit stand so I stopped and bought a peach. Only one as I wasn’t expecting much. A few miles later I started eating that peach and it was the best peach I have ever had. I wish I had bought more than one. That was over 30 years ago and to this day I have never had another peach that good.
