This year's cherry crop

Each year we get 1, maybe 2 cherries from our cherry tree. Here's the prized cherry from this year.

Our cherry trees were near death due to neglect during our remodel, but once we moved back home I have been trying to save them. And after the second year back we started getting fruit again....although definitely not in abundance.

So throughout the spring Lauryn and I would go outside and check on our cherry. We were very careful not to bump the tree in case we knocked it off before it was ripe. Lauryn was soooo waiting for the day she could pick the cherry....which was coming soon after this picture was taken.

Well, the cherry got picked inadvertently by our visiting friend's daughter and Lauryn was so sad. But I carefully cut the lone cherry into 6 tiny slices to share with our friends, and we all savored the fruit of our labor.
