Long sunny days, the scent of fresh fruit in the air and the joy of spending time with loved ones – these are the simple pleasures of summer. One of my favorite summer activities is cherry picking with my family.
Arriving at the cherry orchard
Last summer, we visited a beautiful cherry orchard. The moment we arrived, we were greeted by endless rows of cherry trees, branches laden with ripe red fruit. We eagerly stepped into the orchard, ready for a sweet harvest day.
Cherry picking is fun and relaxing. We reached out, carefully pluck the ripest cherries, feeling their smooth skin before gently dropping them into our bag. I wandered between the rows of trees, my eyes scanning for the reddest cherries. Sometimes, I couldn’t resist trying one.
What made the day truly special was simply being together. We laughed, shared stories and enjoyed the simple pleasure of being outdoors. After a few hours of picking, we sat down in the shade. It was the perfect way to relax and enjoy the summer atmosphere.
Bringing home sweet memories
By the time we left, our bags were full and our hearts were even fuller. The cherries we brought home were turned into pies, jams and afternoon snacks, each bite reminding us of that wonderful day.
Cherry picking isn’t just about filling baskets; it’s about making memories and cherishing time with family. And now, with summer just around the corner, I’m already counting down the days until we’re back, with another basket of sweet cherries and another day of laughter with the people I love.
