It's cherry season! The farm's watermelon and cantaloupe supplier brought Bing and Ranier cherries from Washington state with his last delivery and customers are enthusiastically buying these sweet gems.
I texted Todd - "Do you want any cherries?"
He responded that he did and were they from Michigan. "Nope. Michigan cherries will be here in a couple weeks." He said he wanted red cherries, I like Rainier, so guess what? One of each!
Oh, they are sooooo good.
Soft gold blush appears,
Bites of sweetness, summer's gift,
From Washington state.
Ruby red jewels gleam,
Juicy sweetness on the tongue,
Packed with vitamins!
HAPPY 249TH BIRTHDAY TO THE USA!
Our neighbor's house is a beacon of red, white, and blue.
Well, we had his and hers cherries from our tree this year. Just one each 😄
ReplyDeleteI hope we have a better crop next year!
Wow, your neighbors have really got the spirit. Those cherries look delicious. If you are anything like me, you are eating them right out of the box.
ReplyDeleteWe were in Seattle one year, when the yellow cherries were in season, we walked around the Pike Place market looking for discreet ways to spit out the pits.
ReplyDeleteNothing better than sweet cherries!
ReplyDeleteI thought it was "Ain't nothin' better than home-grown tomatoes!" I just spotted one yellow cherry tomato on our vines. Plenty of those, though still green, and several of the Roma size ones, too. Looks like we'll have a good crop this year.
