CHERRYPOP '07

[littlebluedog]

... was a rousing success! Several friends and local LJ'ers came over yesterday to relieve my trees of ripe, tasty cherries.

BUCKET SPILL '07 (aka "BS '07") was a sad tragedy indeed, but you were popping so many that I was worried you'd pull a Violet Beauregarde on us.

(I know.)

damn, I was mountain biking and I totally spaced it! :(

[littlebluedog]

Probably a week left to harvest the remaining ones, if you want to bring a ladder for a visit.

[acadiabaird]

that would be awesome! just let me know when would work for you.....how big of a ladder would i need? i just have a stepladder.....

still bummed I missed to picking party though....should have put it on the calendar.

[littlebluedog]

A 6-8' stepladder would be a perfect size ... and just e-mail or call to set up a time!

Oooh... cherries. What type are they?

I'm about to go to my moms house and rid one of her trees of its cherries, though hers are pie cherries, and not at all sweet or really even edible outside of a baked good.

[littlebluedog]

They're ... red. :)

Honestly I'm not sure at all. The dark red ones are sweet, and the lighter-colored ones less so (but still good enough to eat right off the tree); that's really all I know.

[ex_a_muffin]

Judging by the photos alone, the red ones are probably burlats. They're not black cherries like bings or stellas. Plus, Black cherries tend to ripen in late July.

Anyways, they look mighty tasty!

[littlebluedog]

Burlats, ok, I'll go with that. Thanks for the research!

They're actually all the same cherries on both trees -- just different colors of ripeness.

I am told they're pretty tasty. :)

Aw man, how did I miss this? Then again, I was too hungover yesterday to really embark on any productive endeavors.

Oh, and I had no idea the g-fish was so cheek-pinchingly adorable.

[littlebluedog]

Nor did I!

I'm glad someone started making cherry poppin' jokes. A cherry-poppin' joke probably would have been my greeting :D

[littlebluedog]

Oh definitely. And cherry-poppin' jokes were just the tip of the iceberg. For example, it was Big Jeff's stated goal to make every statement a double-entendre ... but with Julia saying, while trying to reach cherries, things like "Oooh! If I only had six inches," little effort was needed, at times.

That's my crew! <3

I was rather disappointed with the level of innuendo.
I mean, the entire afternoon probably had as much innuendo as packing one gaylord at Free Geek!
