Cherries!

When I was a kid, right around this time of year, I spent many happy hours climbing the 5 cherry trees in our backyard and gorging on the luscious red ripe fruit. Now as I write this post I'm munching on the cherries I picked this afternoon from my tree. This year there's a bumper crop, but I'll need to get to them before the birds do.

My tree is a Tehranivee, a cross between Van and Stella cherries. It was developed by Canadian researcher Gus Tehrani. The cherries are large, sweet and juicy.

 Mmmm-mmmm good.
