Keeping My Fingers Crossed

The biggest surprise on my morning walk last week was the row of cherry trees. I found lots of cherries, and so I had to eat lots of cherries. QA is an important job around here.  They are delicious. So, here's the thing with cherries, over the years we have lost almost all of the crop because of rain or hail at the wrong time.  The other big threat are our fine feathered friends. Birds love cherries as much as we do, and quite often they’ve come in and eaten just about every cherry on the trees before we’ve had a chance to get out there to harvest. So keep your fingers crossed we can get them before they do, and we can have cherries in the box maybe next week.
