BEEN WAITING FOR THE CHERRIES SEASON.... And finally it arrives! Ever since we came two months ago, we have been waiting patiently for a friend to call us saying "It's time!!" Yes, cherries season is on and they are selling at $3 per pound in the markets. So far we have bought two times and they were finished in no time. Not a single one of us dislike eating them... LOL...
So when this friend called up to say that the cherries are ready to be plucked, we did not hesitate a day longer. This morning after our breakfast, we drove a half hour drive to this couple's house cum orchard to start our "cherry picking" and of course, eating them as we did our job! Just cannot resist...so addictive. I think I ate one whole pound of cherries today... one by one, I popped into my mouth until I was really-really full. Greedy Me!

And here we are..... all excited....
Before I start... let me do some "warm-up!" LOL...
Ok, let's open ceremony here.....
Ready... get set....GO!
Beautiful red cherries....
And soon.... our Harvest done!
When can I feel these again???
Time to relax and play with my new furry friend...
Having a nice breezy rest after a hard day's work...
LOL...
And my usual poses as we walked around the orchard...
We filled up two big bags from just one and a half trees...
Yes, we just could not finish plucking even from two trees..
Too many and there are a dozen of them there!
Our Treasure... it is nearly 10kgs!
Thanks to our friends' kindness and generosity...
oh yeah, plus the wonderful tea snacks too!
Some health benefits, I hear. Very expensive here - thankfully, I'm not a fan.
ReplyDeleteIf cheap in MY, then best!!
DeleteIt looks so beautiful there, and the cherries look perfect! So did the furry friend get a cherry?
ReplyDeleteI will loves playing with the dog...
ReplyDeleteI love to eat cherries! You are so blessed with friends who are so kind and generous. Pluck and eat? No need to wash right? because directly off the tree is ok is it? I have seen documentaries where they pluck apples directly off the trees and eat them immediately without washing.
ReplyDeleteOMG!! Those cherries are beautiful and I love cherries! Cost a bomb over here, so I don't eat often or not at all :(
ReplyDeleteGosh! Pick and eat all you can. Love cherries.
