Everyday I'm Shuffling... I mean Cherry Picking...
When we moved into our new house in April, I was keen to see what mature fruit trees we would be blessed with. Let's just say that the majority of the garden has left me wanting to call in a bobcat and start again, expect for the one amazing CHERRY TREE in the middle of the yard behind the clothesline.
I thought that it had well and truly died during the winter - it looks like the previous owner may have even taken a whipper-snipper to it - but low and behold two weeks ago tiny yellow balls of joy began to appear, and on Saturday I called around Phillip's niece and nephew (6 and 5) to attend the first official cherry picking!
Right now there is nothing better than standing out in the sun and picking fresh cherries to eat right away. Phillip and I picked a bowl and then sat on our balcony, in the sun, eating cherries and spitting the seeds out onto the grass (in the hope that more cherry trees will grow). So right now I'm not really looking for any cherry recipes, because they don't even last until I am inside ... but I am sure that the time will come when I can create something exciting and new and post it for you here!
Let the silly season begin!
