Koralee dearest! Next to grapes and blueberries, CHERRIES ARE MY PASSION! In Greek yogurt with cocoa powder, cherries rule. Oh my goodness, I am so trying to get back into the rhythm of keeping up with everyone's speedy pace of posting every other day!!! HAPPY WEEKEND! And please, please tell Rosie I just can't get into her comment page! Anita

Oh that shiny cherry would cheer anyone up! They are a fave around here too! Think I will pick up a bag today before heading to the pool with the gang! They will be gobbled up!!!

I will smile! I'm doing it now!
Our cherries have been over with for a few weeks now...I made Maraschinos and WOW I will never go back to store bought :) Better than chocolate I'd say if it weren't sacrilege.... ;)

lovely photo! you made me smile about the
phone, because i am such a curmudgeon
about that contraption.

some people think, "oh good, i wonder who
that could be?"

but i think, "why do people keep calling me?"
i sound terrible. must remember to smile
next time.

Unknown said...

Yipee. I've been having a sweet bowl full daily. The price is right comes to mind. I just love when they are in season...sort of like Artichokes. Cherry Jubilee, Cherry Jam, Cherry Pie, Cherry Juice w/7up...my list goes on and on.

You are the sweet ice cream sundae gal to continue to stop by my garden and leave such sweet words and always with a big cherry on top to make my day.

Seriously, I'm off to the market and I'm sure there will be some cherries on tomorrow's table for the BBQ... Let's not forget the midwest corn on the cob, too....

Have a beautiful weekend, my friend,
Kate - T.G.B.

I LOVE CHEERIES TOO, MY DAUGHTER BOUGHT SO MANY, THEY GO SO FAST. I LIKE THE YELLOW ONES TOO, I THINK THEY CALL THEM QUEEN ANNE'S, NOT SURE. YOU HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND. RIZZI

Susan said...

I've been working very hard "cleaning the palace." :) So I've fallen behind in my correspondence! I hope your Canada Day festivities were FUN & FAB!
I'm imagining strawberry/blueberry shortcake with whipped creme and a cherry on top sprinkled with blue and red jimmies! That's what we call them here too!
I am hoping to pick up a copy of Romantic Homes when I'm out shopping this afternoon. Can't wait!
Blessings, my friend!

Maria said...

Hi Koralee!
Oh I love your picture today...
Even my sidebar is smiling :D

I will have to try Anita's idea of adding cocoa to Greek yogurt with cherries ... oh sounds heavenly!!!

No matter what was going on in the house at the time (with two boys and two girls) my mother would always smile when she answered the phone... we all still reminisce about that...

You have yourself a cheery cheery weekend
...with a cherry on top...

*Maria*

Cherries are so beautiful. Some years my trees have lots, but this year only one cherry came from my tree and I ate it. Cherries dipped in chocolate and pistachio would be divine. I don't need an apron, but it is so very cute. I know whoever wins it will love it dearly. Happy 4th!

genius!!!! absolutely genius. I have never seen dipped cherries before...beautiful! Thanks for sharing such a great idea!
