Cherry Picking

I have never been cherry picking before and I absolutely love cherries trees! And I love eating cherries even more. I really didn't pick very many myself because cherries grow in trees that are much taller than me. I was able to get the ones that were low enough for me to reach. Most of the time I just faked it so it looked like I was helping and Samantha could get a picture of me picking for the first time.
We picked 30 some pounds of delicious cherries. And I made a pie. Its the first cherry pie I have ever made and I think that it came out rather nicely. It bubbled over a little because my cherries were so fresh and juicy.
Mmmm...we ate it warm with vanilla ice cream.

I love their little ears.
We only have eight babies now, we don't know if we miscounted or if it died and the mother got rid of it. Their getting bigger and I'll put more pictures up in a little while so you can see.

The Bunny Incident

Many weeks ago the bunnies started showing up at our house. At first there was only one but then it multiplied into two. The neighbor started to complain that they were eating her plants. Awhile later one of the bunnies found its way into our barn and we captured it and put it in a cage. We named it Nicodemus. Then the neighbor captured the other one. She came over and asked Stephen (because he was the only one home at the time) if it was ours. He said "No". She asked if we would mind if she took it down to the cemetery and let it go or if we wanted it. He said we wouldn't mind and we did not want it. When we got home the new bunny was in the same cage with Nicodemus. Stephen had no idea how it got there because he had told the neighbor that we did not want it. Obviously she didn't listen to him. Well, it turned out the Nicodemus was a girl so we changed her name to Nickie. And cappuccino ( the other bunny) was a boy. If you can't see the problem here consider the saying "they breed like rabbits". Anyway, several days ago Nickie gave birth to nine baby bunnies. Surprise! And now there is a third rabbit hopping around our yard, and we do not want it.

Finishing Up

Last post about my New York City trip. We went to time square which was very cool. I bought a blue scarf from a street vendor. While we were there ( at time square) we went to the Hershey's store. Pounds and pounds of chocolate. It smelled soooo good. Are last stop before heading to the train was Rockefeller Center. There wasn't much happening there. We did get lost and ended up in a underground post office. Then we headed to the train. The ride back took a little over two hours. Spencer and Mom found a news paper so they tried to blend in. We played Mafia most of the way so we were back before we knew it, we almost missed our stop. And as we were heading to our cars it started to rain. We got back to the camp very last at night. So we didn't do anything else but sleep. -The End-
