Harvesting Cherries on Cherry Street

Hmm...is this a typical Long Island activity? I can't say for sure. Maybe it's interesting because it's not so typical. Whatever the case might be I can tell you that there were easily three times the amount of what is shown here that was harvested in one Summer evening from a tiny Cherry Tree in my own backyard. Because they are quite tart, we made cherry pie too!
