HEB, it seems, is only carrying East Texas peaches at the moment. Mrs. Charm, back last night from her week in California, bought some this afternoon. Huh, I said, what happened to the Hill Country crop? None in evidence, said she. Must be just around the corner, though, as the growers out there are advertising away.
Meanwhile, surfing a little while ago I learnt that I have been misinformed forever in thinking that Stonewall Jackson loved and ate lemons. Ha! Turns out it was peaches he loved. Makes sense. Never could understand the alleged lemon preference. Except that it was, I suppose, meant to show how tough and eccentric he was. Lots of good peaches out in Stonewall, his namesake town!
