I had pasd the roughly painted sign often on my way to and from work. In bold red letters, it read “Peaches-U-Pick --- 3 miles”. Finally, driving with my husband one day, I decided to check it out.
Less than a mile down the road, we came upon another “peaches” sign with a red arrow pointing right. Then, we came to a path leading away from the main road. Once on the path, we saw a smaller sign with only a red arrow directing us into a field of all grass. We walked through and found a red-tailed hawk (鹰) sitting on the fence. When we got clor, it flew off screaming loudly. “He must be the lookout,” I joked. We came out on the other side of the field to find another red arrow guiding us deeper into the woods. At exact
ly the three-mile point, we were greeted by a yellow dog, who looked as if he had been standing there waiting. We parked the car in the shade of trees, and found two more dogs, veral cats, and peach trees as far as the eye could e. No one emed to be home.
Nearby, a wooden table was topped with baskets, a map of the orchards (果园) and a message which read: “Welcome, friends. Peaches are $5 per basket. Pick all you want. Then put the money in the box below. Have fun.”
“Well,” I said loudly, looking at the dogs, “do you guys want to pick peaches?” They started barking and jumping around, then raced off ahead. We followed the dogs to the woods where the trees were loaded with beautiful ripe fruit. I ran to one tree, my husband to another, each of us followed by a dog. When our baskets were full, we turned back, our new friends heading the way.
The biggest tiger cat I had ever en was asleep next to the money box. “Do you think he can count?” I asked. “After what we’ve en today,” my husband replied, “he probably
can make change.”
We were patting the dogs goodbye when a car pulled in. “Do you live here?” the driver asked. “No, but they’ll show you what to do,” I said, nodding at our furry hosts. As we drove off slowly, we looked back on --- a simple place of pure enjoyment.
