We picked two pounds less than last year which was my goal. I had cherries coming out of my ears last year and didn't want quite so much this year. We still ended up with 9ish pounds, though.

Cherries
Last week we went cherry picking! We got there at an insanely early hour of the day and were pretty much the first ones there...and only ones there until we left. I wanted to beat the heat and the crowds, and we beat both. I took my camera along, only to get to the furthest region of the cherry orchard and realize that I left it in the truck. Oh well...

After William washed and pitted them we laid several pans out and dried them. Then we placed the whole pan in the freezer and froze quite a bit.
We did save some to eat and make a cherry crisp! Yum!
