A day at the Market

Today, on my way home from school, I stopped at a fruit stand in Willard. All the fresh fruits and veggies smelled so good I could almost taste them. I just had to stop and breathe in the freshness of the tomatoes, corn, peaches, watermelon, cantaloupe, and all assortment of berries. I decided on some corn on the cob and some peaches.
Tonight or dinner we had peach cobbler, corn on the cob, chicken and zucchini, all the tastes of summer.

The peach cobbler was excellent.

3 c Peaches -fresh/thin sliced
2 c Sugar - divided
1/2 c Water
2 Egg
