Can’t you just taste it??? Homemade cherry jam*, butter (real, I use no other!) on a toasted muffin…

This is sweet cherry season, specifically Flathead Lake Cherry season. Cherries have been or are being picked on the orchards around the lake. (May – Cherry blossoms around the Lake ) There are cherry stands in front of each orchard as well as on the highway passing Bigfork.

More on cherries this weekend, but I will say that my story involves a famous talking bird named Tiny…

*Jam homemade by the cherry grower with the stand.
