There's this branch...

I couldn't quite reach it from where I stood on the giant boulder next to the cherry tree in our yard. The branch is a goldmine - it's heavy with nice plump red cherries. I managed to get a bucketful from the lower branches, but this and more of the higher ones continue to taunt me.

I came really close to slipping off the side of the boulder in my efforts to reach it. Not quite though... the thought of spilling my bucket annoyed me enough to back down (let it go!!! let it go!!!).

I still managed to get quite a few though. Maybe this 100 Mile Diet idea is not so far fetched ;-) I fed some to the kids, then froze the rest for my smoothies.

Maybe tomorrow I'll try climbing the tree...
