| {Happy Birthday Dad!} |
Here's the promised pictures of our
4th of July visit to
Samascott Farms in
Kinderhook, New York. It was my Dad's birthday and we had a blast!

We did blueberries first, before the heat of the day set in...

It was a big field of bushes, but watch out for the groundhog holes!
 |
| {sour cherries} |
Next we went into the shade of the cherry trees and threw down a blanket for a picnic lunch. After sandwiches and tart lemonade we filled our containers with sweet cherries and sour cherries...
 |
| {Son H, Rosie and Evie among the branches} |
The sweet cherries had a lot of rot, so you had to climb to find the good ones.

My Dad told how his father used to pull their beat-up cars under the trees when he was a kid to pick the fruit, so my husband backed up the minivan...

Too much fun! See the dessert we made the next day
here.
Do you have a favorite picking place?
