YOU'VE READ THE BOOK!
YOU'VE SEEN THE MOVIE!
NOW - HERE'S THE STILL SHOT!
LONESOME DOVE!
Just another critter in our back yard. We are covered up with birds who are all waiting for the cherries on our cherry tree to ripen. When they do - they will be eaten up in one or two days.
It's hard to tell from this picture, but the limbs are actually bending over from the weight of the cherries. We have picked some in the past, but because we haven't sprayed them for bugs and worms a lot of them have "indwelling spirits" - if you know what I mean.
Unfortunately, they will turn ripe while we are out of town and unable to pick any even if we wanted to. This morning, after I mowed the yard, I was just amazed at how beautiful the whole tree was with the cherries sparking in the morning sunshine.
Within the next few days, they will turn more purple in color and the birds will descend like a scene from a Hitchcock movie. I love it when the neighborhood kids climb our tree and steal some cherries. They usually pick and eat immediately - kind of hiding the evidence. If they only knew what creatures lurked inside those untreated cherries. (Can I get a spooky laugh from someone?)
