Cherry Pickin’

Last year our cherries and apricots weren’t ready until July.  So, I was surprised when a friend came over to pick some and said that if I didn’t pick the cherries in the next few days they would go bad.Ethan wasn’t too interested in picking cherries.  He picked a few and then got a hammer to bang on a cement brick. Sienna picked… and then ate. Sienna ended up picking cherries up off of the ground and eating them (seeds and all).  She also ate some dirt from a mole’s mound while she was scouring the ground.Hoping Mom will drop some cherries while she is up there. Trying to get to the cherries

After I started pitting the cherries I realized that a good number of them had worms in them.  Yesterday a friend said that she had a lot of worms in her cherries and heard that it was a “wormy” cherry season this year.  I’ve been trying to not think of Sienna eating so many cherries that had fallen to the ground.  Thankfully she is too young to care about worms or seeds. :-)
