Cherries and Berries

For the past week we have been picking a few strawberries. They are sweeter - even sweeter than the delicious and organic Johnson farm berries that we used to make jam. Matt's Rainier Strawberries, shown here, are producing 3-5 berries a day (also pictured: volunteer dill and mint. Lindsey has delicious yellow (golden?) raspberries.






The wind off the East Bay was howling. As Lindsey drove away, she saw a tree had fallen. Beep, beep, she signaled Matt. When he got there, she had realized it wasn't just any tree.
"Ptooey," said Matt as he bit into the tiny red fruit.
"THEY'RE CANNING CHERRIES!" said Lindsey.
After much stretching and picking they had enough for a pie!
