The Picking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I’m a sucker for an experience. Offer me a chance to haul my brood to pick cherries from a tree during the golden hour and I will jump at the chance! Thanks to the generosity of a friend from church, we were given that chance! It was just as lovely as it sounds. The sun was gleaming through the trees, the kids were excited to find and pick plump cherries from the branches. I picked my share of cherries and stood back to watch the experience unfold. I’ll remember it fondly, the crimson stains on Remi’s hands from the juices, Finn’s enthusiastic exclamations as he discovered yet another fruit-laden branch to pick from, and Miles’ hopeful (and repetitive) requests that we go home and make the best cherry pie ever. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a blur of moments the picking experience was done, leaving us with a bucket of rich red orbs and the growing anticipation of the pie-making experience. <\/p>\n\n\n
