Claire had a fun morning!

This went on for almost an hour - two squirrels taking turns eating at the feeder (which I had just moved there to fill). I thought she was gonna go thru' the glass! Such funny sounds can come from a cat!

Cherries!!

One *very* full cherry tree...

Two hot & sweaty pickers...

(with their Mama helping when not behind the camera:)

Three full containers of cherries...

Nine pounds, 10.5 ounces of cherries = 14 cups...

Three cups of cherry pits... (photo credit: Emily)

One (hopefully) yummy sour cherry pie...

(my first attempt!)

I'm *really* hoping this tastes better than it looks! We'll see tonight.

Thanks, Wendy for remembering that Brian loves sour cherries and for offering your tree! What fun to surprise Brian this way! :)

Summer begins!

Perfect hot day for the water!
