    Life is a bowl of cherries

    My in-laws have 2 massive cherry trees in their backyard. This year they hit the motherlode. Cherries everywhere. Looks like thousands of them, but maybe not.

    Every morning I head out with my daughter. She brings a bucket. We climb the ladder and literally within about 20 minutes we have filled the bucket. You reach out your hand and grab about 5-8 cherries at a time, no problem. You do have to be careful to toss out the ones the birds have nibbled.

    Instant snack all day long. I am in heaven. My kids have spit cherry pits all over the yard so I think my FIL will be somewhat displeased.

    I have noticed that the cherries higher up are darker and fatter. I guess because they get more direct sunlight?

    Anyway, lots of fun. Now if only we had a good recipe for fresh cherry pie, cherry crisp, or cherry tart.

      Cherries are vastly underrated.

          I love cherries. And blueberries. I am pretty jealous or DDD and wuap right now.
          What's to explain? It's a bunch of people, most of whom you've never met, who are just as likely to be homicidal maniacs as they are to be normal everyday people, with whom you share the minutiae of your everyday life. It's totally normal, and everyone would understand.

                  I am eating Cherries right now. Yum! It is a good thing they have pits or I could get sick fast.

                      If you lived less than 400 miles from Utah County, I would have zero problem driving some by your home today (assuming Danimal or another male is there, of course....want to keep everything legit). Unfortunately, you live too far for me to swing by and then make it back in time for fireworks.

                      I can mail you some if you want. Let me know.

                          Yes, I love cherries, especially those big fat darker Bing cherries.

                                  Cherries make my list of fruits that taste great but are always awful as candy. Bananas would be up there as well.
