Cherries

The new house has a cherry tree. It's about 40 years old, but still produces - and I bet if we had had a proper Spring, and Summer would show it's seasonal face, I would have quite the haul of plump red goodness. Alas, the following photos will show the minimal fruits of my old girls labor.

I go out a couple of times a day and pick up the good ones that have fallen to the ground. Although, there seems to be a critter that gets to them in the evenings.

I'm going to leave a little sign out there asking it to please stop eating only half of the cherry. I don't mind sharing, but I'm going to attempt to explain that two halves make a whole, and that if they would just keep eating the one they started with until they were finished, it would leave more whole ones for me.
