Cherry-O!

We have a cherry tree in our back yard. Every year, the birds usually beat us to it & eat most of the cherries. But not this year! Here is what we did last Saturday & most of Monday:

Daisy REALLY missed Jonathan terribly when he was at scout camp the week before. She rarely left his side when he was home.

On Monday, we washed, took out the pits, plucked off the stems.... and made 10 quarts of jam, 13 quarts of bottled cherries, & 10 quarts of cherry pie filling!
