Crossing the Prairie

Look what I can see from the patio just off our bedroom.

 That’s right, folks.  Real cherries. I’ve never even seen a cherry tree before, so imagine my surprise when they just… appeared! It’s just the coolest thing to walk out my bedroom and pick fresh cherries, and pop them into my mouth.  The dogs, believe it or not, are loving them, and head for the base of the tree to forage every time we go outside (but oh, the gas….). Rome, to my dismay, has completely turned his nose up at them.  But that’s par for the course these days - he’s in an “I’m not eating it if it looks funny” phase, and food connected to a tree is DEFINITELY weird.  Oh, well - more for me and the pooches!
