Cherries!!! … and good bye July!

By on

Flathead Cherries are IN season!

Some years ago, I purchased 20 pounds. It was not a completely happy time with the pitting, etc.

Twenty pounds of cherries is a lot of cherries and I guess if I had to travel far to get them and/or the $$ savings was GREAT, I would … might do it.

I’ve been buying about 2 pounds at a time.

Two pounds is a very manageable quantity and by the time I’m done pitting, I am happy to be done but it is a quick chore.

There are cherry stands along the road on my way into Bigfork.

It is fun to stop and chat and get some cherries.

And today, it is the last day of July … AND tomorrow is August 1 which is day one of my birthday month. Hoo-Rah!

It is still hot and except for a 24-36 hour period … Tue afternoon until Thu morning cool off (back door cold front per NOAA), 90’sF are still the forecast. But it will be August and not July.

Onward!

      Thanks, Steph and I’ll be thinking of you during these next days and the horrible heat forecast for your area. Yikes – what a summer!

    Thank you!

    I’m trying to remember the temporary nature of weather. This week will be a distant memory in a few months. Like you, I too am concerned about the weather as it relates to fires, especially with the eclipse bringing a lot of visitors to the state.

    Looking forward to the months that end in …ber :)

      “distant memory” … so funny, that is exactly what I’ve been telling myself! It sometimes (heat) seems longer than it really is, especially in the middle of it.

      Yes, I’m ready for the ber months, too!
