First Cherries of the Year! FINALLY!!!

So I was on my way home from work yesterday and my mom calls me... "I was just looking at the Harmon's ad and they have CHERRIES!" I went speechless! "Are you serious?" I said "Yes" she replied "New Crop Cherries, $3.97 a pound" My heart almost stopped beating, I was SO excited! "Yeah" I exclaimed! And then I remembered I had given Jake my debit card to hold and never got it back... AND I was all out of cash!

As soon as I hung up with her I immediately text Jake and said "Harmon's has CHERRIES on sale. It is EXTREMELY critical that you hurry home so we can go get some! I MUST have them TONIGHT!"

After what felt like an eternity my husband finally got home! We rushed to Harmon's and got my
RED DELICIOUS CHERRIES!

When I took my first bite, I think I had died and went to heaven! MMMM.... so delicious!

I tried really hard not to eat too many, so I would not get sick. But they were delightful!

I am so glad my mom found them in that ad!
YEAH FOR CHERRIES!!!

CHERRY TREE!!!! MMMM....

I have been craving cherries like CRAZY for the last little while. Real, fresh, red, juicy, delicious cherries.... of course I cannot have them because they are not in season... I have looked everywhere for them... even online. I am willing to spend $10 a pound for them, but that is still not working...

SO.... for Mother's Day my wonderful husband bought me a cherry TREE! A whole tree! there are no cherries on it so I still have to wait, and I will probably not even get any this season, but still I now have my very own miniature cherry tree! It is one that you can put in a little planter pot and keep it inside in the cold times, and outside in the warm times!

We planted the tree yesterday and put it by our window! Here is the tree! Its so cute!


You see the little red tag on the bottom? It says RED DELICIOUS CHERRIES! Exactly what I want! I cannot wait until the cherries start blooming. In the meantime if anyone knows where I can get RED DELICIOUS CHERRIES, let me know... you will be my friend for life!

Playing at the Park!

We went to the park on Sunday for Mother's Day and had a picnic! KayLee got to swing in the swing for the first time! I thought she would be scared, but she LOVED it! Thankfully I had my camera and was able to get some pics! It was so cute how much fun she had in the swing!
