Our drive back went quickly. We made good time and had no hold ups on our way through Chicago.
Once we crossed the border into Minnesota, we stopped at a few friends' houses to drop off peaches. A friend of Sue's met us at our house to pick up the fruit we brought back for her. G's parents came over to say hi (and also sample this crop of peaches... they passed muster 😉).
The crates of peaches are safely chilling in the basement, blueberries in the fridge, and pears are laid on a towel on the kitchen table. The pears did not fare the best. We left them in the plastic bag for the car ride and some of the bottom ones got squished. Those went in the fridge right away, about a dozen. The rest held up fine.
I'm feeling itchy to get these fruits preserved and in the freezer and in cans! Maybe I'll start on the blueberries tonight...
