It looks like we have a bumper crop this year...
I love the fruit trees in our backyard. We have two apple, a cherry, a pear and a peach. The cherries always are the first to ripen -- usually around the 4th of July. This year the cherries are a week or two behind schedule, but the tree is loaded with these gorgeous crimson orbs ...
When we have a crop like this I usually pick all we can handle and then let neighbors fill their buckets! We're very popular this time of year in our neighborhood.
A little later this week I'll be making some cherry jam -- one of my favorite things to do mid-summer. It makes me feel productive.
There's nothing better than a countertop filled with these...
...except maybe this -- some homemade Artisan Bread slathered with butter and homemade jam...
