Betsy, did you hand wax each one of those?? HaHa. The color and the dish, really make for a lovely picture. Fresh cherries are Don's favorite. He could eat a bowl full...but doesn't dare..teehee.
I think you should add that to your list, Martha!!! hahaha! Great shots ....gorgeous bowl...you get all the good stuff, eh Betsy? Must be 'cause you are such a nice person... And....NO....I do not have long legs....AT ALL!!!!
These were $3.99 a pound, which seems high to me...maybe a tiny bit less than last year.
When we built our house 25 years ago, we planted a cherry tree....it lived about 12 years and suddenly died. :( Pies made with those sour cherries were THE best. I miss it. Maybe we should both plant a few!
oh...i was just talking yesterday about how we used to climb up in the cherry trees and eat til our fingers were purple and usually our clothes...and we were in trouble...haha...i love cherries!!! enjoy them...
Beautiful photos Betsy! The red against your "trash" milk glass is perfect. Our WalMart had cherries yesterday but they were $4+ which I thought was awfully high. I do love them though so I probably won't be able to resist them next time I'm there!
Yeah, that's just a little higher than what I paid, but still...$8 for a bag of cherries isn't something I'll do every week. But they did not disappoint...sweet and very juicy and firm...none of them are spoiled or over-ripe.
Pretty to look at. I use to have a cherry tree in my yard and the blossoms were beautiful every year. The birds took care of the cherries. One year my b-i-l had a talk with the birds...didn't work. The next year he netted it. haha. My sister made him cherry pies until he'd had enough. Lightening did the tree in the following summer and hubby cut it down. My b-i-l missed the cherries and I missed the blossoms and now I miss the b-i-l and can't see a cherry/or tree without thinking about him. Love the milk glass bowl.
Our neighbor netted his trees for years! Cherry pies are the best...what sweet memories of the tree, pie and your brother in law. :) I agree that blooming cherry trees are just amazing!
Hi Betsy .. amazing - our crops are in a terrible state due to the weather .. but those cherries look wonderful and I love the dish ... great choices ...
I remember my mother always used to say "Life is just a bowl of cherries". Thanks for the memories and your beautiful photographs. I hope they are as yummy as they look;)
They were as good as they look, which was a nice surprise. Some times the first of the season fruits are tasteless...I already bought a watermelon like that. ha.
What a divine red on those cherries...they look delicious. And the milkglass bowl sets them off perfectly. So pretty. But I bet they will soon be eaten as they are much too tempting!
What a beautiful sight! The cherries look yummy and I really like that bowl. I can't believe someone would throw that away.
ReplyDeleteHad to buy the cherries as soon as I saw them. Yum! I love the color, too!
DeleteTrash and cherries grown
ReplyDeleteEach you'd expect alone
But not with you
Putting trash to good use at your zoo haha
Yep, I put them both together
Deleteand it made each of them better!
Maybe it's a snack where you sit?
Just don't swallow the pits!
The cat would swallow it all
DeleteAnd then get plugged up at the other end at our hall haha
Well, you can't afford that!
DeleteHe's such an expensive cat!
ha. Hope he's feeling better now
so your wallet stops having a cow.
lol...
those cherries look amazing in that dish! They would look amazing in my hand too!!!!
ReplyDeleteI've been nibbling on them all afternoon! ha. Yum!

ReplyDeletehaha...I could, too! At least the pits slow you down a little. lol...
DeleteYes, I thought the color and shine were amazing!
Cherries are one of my favorites I love the color !! Send me someones please LOL
ReplyDeleteSee...another reason you need to live next door! I could share with you! :)
DeleteI'm hoping cherries don't cost an arm and two legs this year. If I was smart, I'd put in a cherry tree or two.
ReplyDeleteI think you should add that to your list, Martha!!! hahaha!
DeleteGreat shots ....gorgeous bowl...you get all the good stuff, eh Betsy?
Must be 'cause you are such a nice person...
And....NO....I do not have long legs....AT ALL!!!!

Let's make a pact!!!
Deletewe have a cherry tree but the birds ate almost all:(
DeleteSo, if I plant some trees, should they be sweet cherries or sour?
Deleteour are really sweet! maybe for this the birds love them:))
DeleteI don't know..maybe look and see which grows best?
Deleteoh...i was just talking yesterday about how we used to climb up in the cherry trees and eat til our fingers were purple and usually our clothes...and we were in trouble...haha...i love cherries!!! enjoy them...
ReplyDeleteMe, too. Must be in the genes. :) In trouble, huh...did you have to pick a switch? lol....

I don't know exactly where in the states they were grown, but they seemed to have done well!

ReplyDeleteWe nibbled on some for dessert tonight after dinner. yum! Maybe that will even out all the pound cake I've been eating. hahaha.
DeleteTrash turned into Treasure!
ReplyDeleteCherries are in????
Good-bye, I'm off to the store..............
yep..and you know, I bet these were from Washington! They usually are!
DeleteI bet they're gone now, right? I love cherries.
ReplyDeleteNo, but we've put a good dent into them. ha.
DeleteI adore thse cherries Betsy although I'm easily swayed because cherries are one of my favourite fruits in general, simply perfect.
ReplyDeleteThey make the perfect snack~ yum!
