I am guesstimating, if I am lucky, I have enough cherries for two more pies. Priscilla is very disappointed. What was once a nearly two week long cherry pie making marathon in June, suddenly ground to a halt when I noticed half the cherries on our backyard cherry tree had magically disappeared without a trace over the course of just two days. I have never before seen our cherry tree plucked with such discretion. I never saw a thing other than the cherries being there in abundance and then suddenly not being there. Keep in mind my kitchen window looks out onto our backyard cherry tree and I work from home! After making yesterday's pie, I understand why the animal kingdom that resides in our backyard couldn't help themselves - the cherries this year are tastier than they've ever been.
Like Thieves in the Night, the Squirrel's and Birds Stole Most of the Cherries
