Cherries!!

We bought the rights to a cherry tree this year, through Cherrybrook Farms (http://www.cherrybrookfarms.ca/42.html and http://cherrybrookfarms.blogspot.com/)

We just had to book a time to come pick our tree, when the cherries were ripe, and this year they were about 2 weeks late in ripening. We weren't sure if we would be able to pick and deal with the cherries before we leave for Ontario.

Yummy Cherries!
Elyse was really good about eating cherries that she picked off the tree and spitting the pits out onto the ground

The results of an hour of picking - I never did get the shirt completely clean

We were told that each crate holds about 25 lbs
Lots of work to do once we get home!
