Cherries


Everyone around here is enjoying our crop of cherries. The above squirrel is only a small example of the wildlife we've seen since the cherries appeared. They're a bit early this year, but we're ready. We have 4 trees: 2 bing, one rainier, and one sour. Here's a look out the kitchen window at the rainier tree. Those cherries are not within reach of us, even with ladders or climbing into the tree.

However, since we've gotten -- so far -- 19 pounds of various kinds of cherries, I guess I shouldn't complain.

The girls aren't complaining, either. They're helping Michael make cherry pie. There's nothing like cherry pie with fresh sour cherries. MMMMM.


Michael even did the lattice top.


It's almost miraculous that we got a picture of the finished product before eating it.

It's because Michael took these. I would have been wielding the knife right away...

The girls decided that they didn't like the filling, but did like the crust. To which I say -- MORE FOR ME!!!
