come pick my cherries

[goddessfarmer]

1. I'm not supposed to be having much sun exposure right now
2. I'm leaving for baitcon early tomorrow morning and have to pack

but the cherry tree is full of ripe cherries, and the birds will get them before I get back!

would it be ok if i stopped by on sunday? i'm working today, unless it's thunderstorms, in which case i probably don't want to be out picking cherries either :)

sure. I expect Alice will be here, but even if she's not, Pedro will be happy for the company :-)

I brought a friend with me and picked some cherries today. There weren't many on the tree, and there's less now. There's lots up higher than I could easily reach, even with the house folding ladder. So if you want cherries, be prepared to climb the tree. It would help if you had a friend on the ladder, and you climbed the tree and bent down a branch, so the friend on the ladder would be able to pick all the ones they could then reach. I did that trick (me on ladder, friend on ground) and my friend on the ground got the low lying fruits.

Very Tart cherries! Be ready to pucker up when you eat them! All we got was about enough to fill 2 or 3 sandwich baggies, like I said, the tree isn't overfilled. Made some cherry cheesecake-cupcake sized. Might have enough left for a pie, but that's about it.

Alice's hair is quite short.

thanks for the update!

i don't want them for eating out-of-hand, but for vodka infusions. that said, i probably won't have a companion or a ladder, and i'm pretty short :)

Tempting....where's the tree? Hopefully it's somewhere in your front lawn?

just to the left of the driveway, just past the bend as you come up.

It has the bright red cherries on it?

[koshmom.livejournal.com]

Plbbbbt! to you.

erm....how does baitcon equate to "not much sun exposure" again?

stay covered or in the shade

(which is much more doable at this site than the previous ones, I think, because you can be outside but still under cover, and as social as you want to be. The only time that's not true is when you are walking to the bathrooms or showers.)

and even then, the foliage provides a lot of protection
