We've been picking cherries.
We've been harvesting and freezing cherries from our sour cherry tree and I have the cherry-stained hands to prove it. We were a little late, so we didn't get as many as we had hoped, but there are some in the freezer. For the prospect of cherry pies ahead, I am thankful.
We hosted a picnic for the people I work with and their families.
We had good food and a relaxed time visiting with friends and their families. As a dark cloud approached, everyone hustled and we got inside with the food before the downpour started. It was great teamwork. For this fun afternoon, I am thankful.
Ward had surgery.
Ward had surgery this week. He was in and out in a day and is recovering well although his activities are limited for a while. Times have changed. When his father had this same surgery years ago, he was in the hospital for a week. For Ward's successful surgery, I am thankful.
Uncle Billy shared cucumbers.
