Picking cherries
One of our favorite yearly activities is picking cherries.
This year, the cherries came *way* early. Any trees that were hit by frost (such as our lower cherry trees) aren’t really putting out any fruit. The early heatwave we experienced in April really messes with the trees schedules.
Today C & C are in the bucket of the tractor, about to be hoisted up to pick some cherries up on the ridge.
This is our oldest cherry tree. It’s gotta be 35-40 years old, at least.
We really only get one picking on this tree - the birds and groundhogs get the rest.
I love these spring evenings.
