First of all a note out to all our Veterans - both current as well as from years past. Thank you for your service - without which we would not be celebrating today or enjoying our freedoms (we sometimes take for granted) every day!
Well it is moving from Strawberry to Cherry season and is now Red Raspberry Season at the farm too.
I got some very nice strawberries from my Aunt Georgianna a couple of weeks ago and stemmed and IFF (individually flash froze) them and then stored them in airtight containers for future use. They were very nice.
My Father-In-Law Ken, has had Cherry trees at his various houses and my wife has fond (and sometimes not so fond) of memories picking cherries growing up. So when we were told Cherries are ready - come and pick 'em - I was excited - Sandy, notsomuch..... :)..
Anyway I picked enough for a pie -and a couple of attempts at some cherry turnovers. So here is the story in pictures..
