soon there will be cherry pie

We have a lot of cherries again this year! Remember last year? Who would have thought the hours of pie preparation involved? Picking, washing, pitting every single one and then finally baking them. I shudder to think about the labor intensive work that lies ahead with regard to our yearly ritual. I know, it's not as if anyone is twisting my arm - but have you ever tried fresh out of the oven cherry pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream? If you haven't, than I highly recommend you do so asap.
