A great note to keep your readers up to date about your absence for a while. Enjoy the cherry picking, it is sometimes good to have a change in the normal routine we are customer to.

Thanks a lot Sandra, and we're still busy, hence the late answer. Should soon be over though and I can get back to normal. All the best. Ulla:)))

I love these kind of posts. I enjoy knowing what my FS family it up too. I also enjoyed reading that your cherry crop is doing so well. I love cherries. Please send some to Texas.

Thanks a lot Barbara, so glad you liked my wee note, and thanks for the review. I wish I could send you some. But they would be off once getting to Texas, hehe. It's so hard work, picking, boxing and then selling, but so gratifying. We have build up a great customer base. They even phone and place orders. What more could you ask for! All the best. Ulla:)))

Keep up the good work, Ulla. I just wish I could have been there to help you. I'm sure everyone will understand. However much we all enjoy reading your posts, we also appreciate that work must be done.

Chat soon - work and internet permitting!

I know, that would have been great, Alexis. At the moment we're overwhelmed with the work. I'm only on line for an hour or two and then to bed. Up for six o'clock again tomorrow. But not complaining. Thanks for the great review and the lovely stars, and looking forward to our next chat. I know, you'll be busy as well. Ulla xxxx

Cherry picking! How wonderful! I wishI could come and help you, but I would probably eat them all as they are my favourites, good luck with the picking and don't stay away too long or we will miss you! Love Dolly x

Hi Dolly, thank you so much for your great review and support. I'll try to do a little on FS every day. It does relax me for a couple of hours, and then early to bed. Love, Ulla:)))

This is incredible. My dear "Nanny" had cherry trees and canned them in jars that she stored in an old root cellar. I loved them, but that creepy cellar scared me to death! LOL. Thanks for the update, Ulla. All my best. As ever. Bruce.

Hi Ulla; thank you for sharing the update. I remember cherry picking as back-breaking work, so know that you are in my prayers. I'm glad you are still finding time to read, review and write. It probably helps you to keep your sanity,

What a wonder life you have Ulla. Picking cherries with friends is a delight. Maybe the sweating is tough.But that's the best part of honest work. I'm struggling with misplaced and dangling modifiers, mixing tense, and syntax problems. Now, this is work. The kind that hurts my brain, causing my body to weaken, making me very tired. I love good writing. I can't do it. But I will keep trying. Hope you have a good cherry picking season.

Oh we definitely need a picture of you picking cherries, Ulla! Good luck with your season, I hope it goes well for you. Now I'll look to see what I've missed of yours in the past few days I've been off a FS :))

Thanks a lot Carol. You're right we have to make a photo. But we're always too busy picking to bother about a photo. We'll have to make time though. It's soon over, and I'll be back to normal again. Hence the late answer. I'm sorry. All the best. Ulla:)))

I can relate to this perfectly, Ulla - life gets in the way of our writing and such,
but everything has its own importance and must be dealt with -

happy cherry picking..... save some for me --- I so love cherries, but they are
so expensive over here that I've not had any this year ..... yet.

Hi Margaret, thank you so much. I wish I could send you some. We've worked so very hard, but it's soon over and I can get back to normal. It's a month of very hectic work and long hours. I'm looking forward to relax a bit. Sorry for the late answer. All the best. Ulla:)))

Thank you for sharing what's going on with you, and the cherries sound like a cool grove. I read about your dealing with almonds and now cherries. How fun! I'm woefully behind as well, and understand what you mean. I need to look at your profile so I can catch up on Sally.

Take care, and don't worry about apologizing. I've been out because of surgery. We all have those periods of time. You are a wonderful writer!

Take care,
Rhonda

Hi Rhonda, thank you so much for your great review, and for understanding. A few more days and the cherries are over. It's been a good run, but I'm looking forward to have time to do other things. Everything goes on hold during that season. I've relaxed with writing and reviewing a bit, but I'm so behind. Soon back to normal, though. All the best. Ulla:)))
