Think I saw a recipe online yesterday but didn't look at it. Sounds good. I think I'm going to attempt cherry pie. Never made one before, if I make pie, it's usually either apple or pecan.

It was the last day to get good ones off that tree. They're near their end and it's been hot so some were already fermenting on the tree. The birds weren't thrilled about me picking what was left of the good ones. They certainly are pretty.

I'm too burned out to do it now but I have a couple old cookbooks, was posting about them earlier, I will consult those for the best way to prepare the cherries, I already have the crust down.

Catching the rerun of Lawrence and then I'm going horizontal. Thanks for the idea! I'll make plans to harvest a bunch next year. I should have started last week, probably have a couple gallons of them.
