The thing about cherries is that when they're ready, they're all ripe at the same time. Luckily, we had help from some talented cherry-picking monkeys who, in a matter of a few hot hours, picked the huge tree clean and left the birds wondering what happened to their favorite snack. Aunt Theresa and Uncle Bill came over for their weekly work day and enticed the energetic neighbor into helping as well. It was great to have so much help, because Anna certainly isn't climbing trees. The workers even brought their own picnic lunch! Does it get better than that?
Then, what to do with the cherries? Luckily, more help came when Sue appeared with her canning supplies and found that she loved operating our amazing cherry pitter. Again, in a matter of a few hours (okay, maybe half a day, but who's keeping track of time when there's visiting to be done and nice weather to be enjoyed?) jars of beautiful cherries adorned the counter.
