Peaches

I have been trying to do some writing exercises from a book and I was told to write about a piece of fruit.
Here goes:
                                                                             
THE PEACH

Biting into a fresh and ripened peach is like a sudden whiff of a cool breeze on a warm, sun drenched face. A peach is a well defined taste bud of flavor.  Each small juicy nibble awakens memories of roadside stands on two lane country roads on the way home from the beach.  What can be done with a basket of this sweet smelling fruit?  Peach Cobbler is a favorite summer dessert in our family.  The simplicity of sliced peaches in a bowl covered in fluffy whipped cream would be a delightful treat. Perhaps the friendly farmer would be willing to negotiate a bargain for an entire bushel of these succulent peaches. They could be frozen for future use.  The idea of fresh tasting peaches in the winter months certainly conjures up a mouth watering response to that idea.  One thing is certain, the peach is a winning example of nature’s bounty, at its’ best!

Let's here from you.  What is your favorite fruit?
