Abundant Cherries! The Harvest is Happening!
This Sunday was cherry harvesting day, a perfect day for clearing off all the cherries from our cherry tree! The whole family participated, even my parents came from next door and helped pick cherries.
This is our first year with a full harvest, as other years we lost them to a dusty mold. We did see some mold on the upper branches, but most of the cherries were perfectly fine.
It was a great harvest, there were so many cherries that it took most of the day to pick them all. Some of the higher cherries took tall ladders for us to reach them.
We started with one five-gallon bucket, but once that was full, we found other containers and filled them. We found another five-gallon and fill that to the brim also!
Even as we picked all the lower branches, there were always more hanging above us. I even went onto the roof of the house to get some of the fruit near the house.
Once we picked all the cherries we could reach (about 90% of the tree), we estimated about three and a half buckets of cherries. We did some math and calculated these to be valued at several hundreds of dollars - but we're not selling, we're giving away and utilizing the cherries.
Now the priority is getting the pits out and freezing them before they go bad. We are so excited about this massive harvest.
Next up... apples come fall-time!
Bless the Most High!
Teach Your Children Liberty from Sin
We encourage parents to teach their children principles of Godliness, beginning with the Word and an understanding who God is and what His Son has done to form a relationship with us.
No one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work. 1 Corinthians 3:11-13
Teach Your children Liberty from Tyranny
Second to this is the principle of self-determination and freedom, lest we loose the ability to teach our children the first principle in future generations.
Our children read the Tuttle Twin books, specifically to learn libertarian principles, which most people learn later in life. These books are useful for our family, and yours, to teach children concepts that seem complicated, but are made simple in these books.

Thank you. !BBH
@gratefuleveryday appreciates your intention !INDEED, but the LUV token tipping bot has been paused by its owner/operator since a month ago. 🤗😅 !WEIRD !HOPE
What a tremendous harvest, is this all from one tree?👍😊
Somehow, I’m not sure but my son and his wife said they are removing the pits from cherry’s they picked with a straw. Not sure how that would work….😮😊
All from one very fruitful tree! We're removing the pits by hand, we may try a straw to see if it's easier. !BBH
Let me know if it works, my son and his wife are over 100 miles away so I can’t go see how they’re doing this!😇
Of boy! The harvest is great and the workers are awesome, nice and lovely pictures.

"Workers are awesome" Agree, cheerful and pleasant! !BBH
What a bountiful harvest. You can make jams out of those.

oh, cherry jam. yum. !BBH
That's a good idea, but let's !HOPE that @gratefuleveryday and his family has enough time to create jams out of many of those cherries that they can't eat or give away soon! 🤗 !WEIRD !INDEED
I assume that the reason why there are still some mold at the top of the cherry tree is because they are too hard to reach (both with anti-mold sprays and by someone to pick those cherries). 🍒🤯🤓 !WEIRD !INDEED !HOPE !HUG
Yes, that's exactly right. The only parts that got moldy ere the parts we couldn't reach to spray. We're pruning those down this year, so we can have more cherries next year where we can pick them. !BBH
It's easy to determine that the higher the quantity and size of the parts of the tree are, the more spread the nutrients the tree gets will be. 🍒🧘♂️🤓 !INDEED !LOLZ
