Life is Like a Bucket of Cherries.



If Delano had a treasure this would be it...picking cherries Memorial Weekend at Sandrini Farms for $1 a pound.

Here are some other things you can do while you're there...




Stuff yourself sick with all the cherries you can eat!



Climb a 10 foot ladder without Mom yelling, "GET DOWN FROM THERE!"





Make a seat from a turned over bucket and feed your Grandbaby.




Taunt your Uncle and start a cherry fight.




Hit your sister (who was not in the fight) in the forehead with a cherry.



Fall off a ladder and land on your backside. Get debris all over your sweatshirt as proof of your clumsiness.




Boss your 16 year old little brother around with:
1. Where to pick
2. How to pick
3. What to pick


Mom and I both went away with 13 pound of cherries...each! They are sweet and delicious! I still am not sure if the funniest part was me falling or Mom...

Me: Well you know "Life is like a bowl of cherries"

Mom: Yeah, that's what Forrest Gump always says!

(Trevor and I look at each other and smile)

Me: Or, Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get.

Mom (now laughing along with us): Oh, that's right!

That looks like so much fun. We have two seft pick farms really close to my house and I have been dying to take the kids over but they still aren't open for the season yet.
