Cherry U-Pick....

We had fun picking some U-Pick Cherries.

At $1.00 per pound, it sure beats paying $3.99 a pound.

Plus it's a lot of fun filling a bucket.

Lots of flower photos, dogs, as well as summertime activities.

 

This last week in June..

This last week of June is going to be busy.

It's warm and filled with lots of folks starting their

summer vacation.

We are picking Claire up in a few weeks to spend

some time here with us.

Her first time away by herself.

She calls its

"Oma's Summer Craft Camp"

The start of baking a

Cherry Clafoutis.

The cherries are in season...

Our cherries have ripened at least 3 weeks early and we

have a bumper crop.

We drove to Osoyoos today, where it is usually the

hot spot in Canada.

The cherry trees are groaning under

the weight of all theses luscious berries.

Climb a tree...

I went out early the other morning to pick some cherries, moved the big ladder around until I found the perfect tree..perched about 10 feet up, the cherries were as ripe and plump as could be. It took no time at all for me to pick 5 lbs..It was a bit funny to try to take a photo, hold on to the basket, not fall off the ladder and smile at the same time..hope it makes you smile as well.

Summer time picnics

As August is half way over, our picnic time gets more precious..the water is so warm...little radio controlled float planes playing in the air and water, hearing the waves lapping on the shore, taking along yarn to crochet, having a nap...enjoying quiet time on a Sunday afternoon reading and relaxing with my sweetie.❤

Joy...

Almost finished with the cherries, now on to apricots and peaches..isn't this just the best part of summer!❤

Cherries...

Somehow picking cherries yourself adds to how sweet they taste..some varieties all most finished here in our valley... @.50 cents a lb..they are a sweet bargain...toss them gently into a pan with some water, a bit of sugar and lemon juice..cook just for a few minutes until they are tender...this way
you are able to keep their luscious flavor longer...spooned over ice cream or yogurt, it tastes good any time of the day.❤
