#767 It’s the best season for peaches!
Wakayama is famous for peaches in Western Japan.
My husband and I drove to a farmer’s market in Wakayama to buy peaches last Sunday. It took about an hour from my house.
When I got off the car in the parking lot, I could already smell the sweet aroma of the peaches in the air, because the peach market was right next to the parking. At the moment, I was sure that I could buy some delicious peaches. It was a crowded day at the market and many customers were buying lots of peach in boxes.
We wanted to send a box to each of our parents. I needed to make sure that there was a small piece of warranty paper in the peach box. Without the paper, the box cannot be delivered.
We found nice-looking peaches and sent to our parents.
I joined the crowd at the market, and luckily I found 2 nice-looking boxes. There were 8 peaches in the box and it costed 1800 yen. The price was labelled on the box. While I was holding my 2 boxes, more customers were rushing in. I saw the other boxes flying off the shelf in front of me. I was kind of overwhelmed. My husband wasn’t there at that time. I don’t know why my husband is always missing during important moments. Then he suddenly appeared and we chose 4 peaches for ourselves. The market has “kuroneko yamato” delivery service. We used it to send the peaches to our parents in Niigata and Chiba.
Our “first peach” this year!
On the way home, I could smell the peaches, herbs, flowers, and vegetables in our car. It feels wonderful when you can smell fresh groceries.
Next day, our parents called us and said, “the peaches were very delicious. Our “first peach” this year! Thank you!”
Small joy!!(2021.6.20)

いつも距離を置いて行動しています(!)でも肝心な時くらいは側にいてもらわないと困りますっ。
謎の行動は旦那さんに限らず、男という者(子供男子含む)はそういうものなんだと認識しています。
ということで旦那さんとは付かず離れずな距離感で、けっして仲良しではないんですよ。
和歌山の桃‼︎
私は昨年、この時期に弟家族が送ってくれて久しぶりに食べました♪
ご両親は本当に嬉しかったと思います(^^)
旬の産地のモノはなによりも嬉しいですよね。
これからも和歌山のことご贔屓にお願いします 笑

和歌山の桃！と〜っても美味しかったです♪
父に水茄子と桃どっちが食べたい？って聞いたら桃と答えたので、思い立って和歌山ドライブとなりました。
母が「岡山じゃなくて和歌山の桃？」と言ったとおり、東日本の人には和歌山県はみかんであり桃ではないのでしょう。
私も今回和歌山県に桃を買いに行くまで、その人気ぶりを知りませんでした（スミマセン）
次は高級品「あら川桃」をゲットしたいです！
桃、争奪戦だったんですね。
それにしても桃を買うために、和歌山へ行くとはアクティブです。
旦那さん、何故いつも肝心な時に雲隠れしてしまうのか。。。謎です。
nakoさんは優しいから、そこで怒ったりしないのでしょうね。
いつも仲良しな二人が頭に浮かびます。
いいなぁ、仲良しで。
