It's cherry time! That's right. Those wonderful little red balls bursting with flavor are back..JPG)
I just love when the summer time fruit starts to come out. It's hard for me to say which I love more...peaches, plumbs, apricots, watermelon or cherries.
But, when I had my first cherry of this season, I knew cherries were on my top five favorite list.

I don't know if all cherries are great yet but, these ones we got the other day sure are. You couldn't ask for a better cherry.
I even put them in a special dish that I don't use to often. You see, the dish they are in are antique cut crystal. I have five of them.
Not only are they special because they are antique but, because they are the only thing I have of my Dad's.
My Dad died when I was only 12 years old. I still think of him and miss him every day. I love my Dad more then words can ever say. I was his little girl.
As I hold these dishes in my hands I can almost feel him there with me. Yet, I'm scared one my break, so, I don't use them very often.

I don't even know if my Dad liked cherries. If I had to put money down I would bet he did. After all, who doesn't like cherries?
Oh Yum. I got some too at Whole Foods a week ago, and they were so goooooood...

ReplyDeleteWhat a nice post to remember your Dad. Yes, the cherries are out here and they are so sweet. I've picked up two bags in the last week and can't stop eating them. I've even had some cut up on frozen yogurt. I just love them. xxoo

The dishes are beautiful. What a great way to remember your Dad. Did he like cherries too? The fruit that always brings me into summer and all it represents is strawberries, followed by watermelon. I love a good fruit salad in the summer!
ReplyDeleteJo, cherries are my absolute all-time favorite fruit. I could eat them fresh all day long. Your pictures are frame-worthy!!! Love them.
ReplyDeleteThose bright little cherries look so delish! I just love fresh fruit and cherries are just one of the best!
