Picking cherries...

My friend, Megan, inquired about the sour cherries on our tree this year, and I told her that she and the kids could come over to pick as many as heart desired. Natalie, Megan's daughter, seemed to take the most interest in it. The boys were entertained by it for as long as their little attention spans allowed--a few minutes. And then Gavin was up climbing the tree in our back yard, showing off his skills to his little buddies I'm sure.

It was fun to watch the kids pick the cherries and put them in the bowl. Megan made a pie out of them, but she said it didn't turn out that great, which was my recollection from years past. So maybe they really are best suited for the birds!
