Usually, we are only able to get the bottom cherries from the trees. It kind of reminded me of when a 1 or 2 year old is allowed to trim the Christmas tree. All one sees is ornaments at the bottom. Well, in the past our trees were chokecherryless from 6 foot on down to the ground.
But this year was different. We used the bucket attached to the tractor. Joyce would have had me up there, but I am the one who knows how to work the bucket controls the best between the two of us.
As it turned out we did manage to get a couple of pails relatively full. Joyce is looking for her recipe for the jelly. By this time tomorrow we should have our winter stash on the shelf.
Notice how joyous can multitask? She is cleaning the berries and rooting for the Minnesota Twins at the same time.
The final product seems to be well worth all of Joyous’ effort. It looks like we have enough to see us through quite a few months.
Now, we will see what we can do with the tomatoes that are ripening on the vine.
