cherry picking at stover's farm

on our way to detroit this weekend, luigi and i picked cherries

at www.stoversupic.com in berrien springs, michigan.

(luigi is my pet monkey for those of you not 'in the know.')they had two kinds of cherry trees - sweet and sour.

we picked sour, which are for baking.

we're thinking of dehydrating ours, though.

hey, look. i got one!

this cherry soon came to inhabit our basket.

at the risk of sounding like chanlder bing (pun intended),

'could i LOOK any happier to have picked this cherry?'

mom and dad kept telling me to put my cherries in our basket,

but i liked how they giggled when i put them in my mouth instead.

daddy, luigi (who probably can't see over my shoulder),

and i look out at stover's expanse of fruit trees.

these happen to have mostly been peaches, i believe.

pretty, huh?
