I had a fantastic birthday this year! It was a very full day, but very fun!
First my Mom and I went cherry picking with Ryla.
The cherries on the trees looked perfect red, round, and delicious! They were warm and sticky as we picked them.
Ryla was a big help! :) She kept picking the cherries up off the ground and putting them in our buckets(Which we promptly threw back out when she wasn't watching...)
After we showed her how to pick them off of the tree, she had to go find her own! Of course. So she searched out a tree that had low enough hanging cherries...
This is a barn on the edge of the farm.
A quilt block on the barn!
We were technically in S. Haven when we were picking cherries, but we went into town afterwards to get a cherry pitter...
My dear hubby bought me a mini cake f0r my birthday!
From my favorite bakery! (I tend to make my own food, and I love doing it, but if I am going to go to a bakery it is this one!) Also, if you have read, or do read The Time Traveler's Wife... MacKenzies is in it!
This "Deluxe" cherry pitter is the DEVIL! It was horrible. Clamps on to your counter(how many counters does THAT fit?) Then the clamp snapped and the whole thing fell on the floor breaking the plastic part off... so for the rest of the day I had to hold it. Which, oddly enough, worked better than the original design!
