The cherry tree in the front yard has been sitting there pretty much dormant for the last 9 years.  It’s been a pretty good shade tree, and screened the front of the house well, so we left it alone.

And now comes the payoff:

It’s positively drooping from all of the fruit on it.

Girlie Bear and I went out for about half an hour tonight and got all of the low hanging fruit.  We got more than a gallon.

Irish Woman has promised me a cobbler for dessert tomorrow night, and what we don’t eat tonight or tomorrow will go in the dryer for snacks.

We love fresh fruit, and this looks like a good year for it.
