It’s a farmers market. You can get whatever – peaches, a sandwich. There might be a little band there. I’d sit in with the band. Yeah, that’s what I would do. Sit in with the band at the farmers market. Sing a couple of songs, eat a peach, and hug people.
My parents live out in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of this peach orchard. It’s actually Peach County, one of the largest peach-growing counties in Georgia.
