Cherries-Just Right!

Cherries came only once a year on the prairie orchard where Abi and her 3 older brothers lived. It was a family effort to prepare for their juicy, sweet arrival. Cherry pie, dried cherries, and cherry smoothies were some of their favourite treats, but the cherry juice is what they looked forward to the most. Each year they waited with anticipation for the cherries to ripen to perfect sweetness.
This year, however, would be one they could not anticipate and would never forget!
