The Moth and the Cherries













How's that for a good sized moth? The girls found the kittens playing with him on the backporch tonight... poor thing. He's huge, though! So cool.
Here's a look at our cherries, which are getting too ripe to do anything with anymore. I bottled three pints for future pies, but didn't have enough time today to do anymore...rush rush rush. I picked peas with a neighbor for an hour or so and she gave us three grocery bags full. Yum! We then had to get to a church dinner social and had to scrap my big cherry plans for the day. Tomorrow may be too late, but at least I was able to use some of them. There are still a ton on the tree, as you can see from the last photo, but the birds have pecked the heck out of them and they turn out to be too much work. No worms, though - not a one. I can't explain that since we didn't even spray... must be all the rain and cooler weather we had over the last month or two. Whatever the reason, we're grateful :)
