This week the kids and I have been continuing our summer theme as well as beginning to talk about cherries. One thing that we love about this season is all the u-pick fruit. Last year we desperately tried to go pick cherries. However due to the frost, the season was only one week long. This year though, we made it up to the mountains just in time. I did not want to go home it was so gorgeous.
In order to make our circle time complete, I whipped up a felt cherry gnome. The kids promptly named him Chippy. I am not sure why but at any rate, it's his name now!
I even got to make a cherry pie from scratch last night. Oh, how I love being close to where my food comes from. The store bought cherries to not hold a candle to the ones we picked. Let's just say I am a convert. Enjoy the photos of our crafts and Chippy. If you're in Virginia and would like to go pick cherries, then you can find the orchard here!
Also Our $75 Nova Natural giveaway is still going on until 7/19!

Until next time,

Love seeing your cherry gnome, and those cherries in the tree look really juicy.
ReplyDeleteThank Ginx for visiting! The cherries were to die for. I swear every time I go and pick my own food I feel so cheated to have been unaware of the vast difference between fresh off the branch and what I have been eating my whole life form the store. Ha! I am a fresh cherry convert!!
