Harvesting the Cherries!!

Today we picked most of the cherries off the cherry tree today! We had been wondering how we would reach those cherries so far up without the proper ladder or picking tools. Today, however Adeline and I were determined to get those cherries!! She had the idea to use a bamboo stick and I had the idea to tape a fork to the end of it to pluck the cherries down - success!!!



 The new cherry picking tool in action
 Such a simple design : )
 a bowl full of yummy cherries!!




From tree to Vanilla/Cherry bread!! yummm Plus we made bannana bread and we have a whole batch of fresh picked blueberries that we picked up the road. Oh and the blackberries everywhere here - lots of yummy fruity treats!

I hear that FedEx can get packages to Jacksonville overnight if someone was wanting to share.
