It's cherry season!

I'm really glad I live in BC... the Okanagan is famous for its cherry trees.  Actually, it's famous for fruit trees in general.  There are several farms there dedicated to the "pick-your-own (insert fruit here)" business.  One year, we actually went down there to a cherry farm to pick the cherries ourselves.  The thing I remember most was while I was industriously picking cherries (and not eating many of them), my dad was eating more of them than he picked!  I suppose he was smarter than me - after all, they charge you based on how many pounds of cherries you pick, not how many pounds you eat.  Though I suspect eating more than you pick is rather frowned upon.

To celebrate cherry season, I managed to write my own pattern for a small crochet cherry.  He seems rather happy - probably because he knows he won't get eaten!  

(Please excuse the loose ends!  I was in a hurry to get the photo taken before we devoured the cherries in the background)
