44/365 Tart cherries

My family's little cherry tree has produced its annual offering of tart cherries. Unfortunately, I missed the chance to visit the tree and pluck off a few right there, but I'm counting on being able to enjoy part of the crisp made with the harvest!

I was never a huge fan of fresh cherries until I met a tart one, and I found them to be completely addicting and incomparable -- especially when I got to enjoy them standing right beside the tree. Now I'll get a batch of sweet cherries when they're ripe, but they don't hold a candle to the ones picked fresh off the tree.
