This Sunday was cherry harvesting day, a perfect day for clearing off all the cherries from our cherry tree! The whole family participated, even my parents came from next door and helped pick cherries.
This is our first year with a full harvest, as other years we lost them to a dusty mold. We did see some mold on the upper branches, but most of the cherries were perfectly fine.
It was a great harvest, there were so many cherries that it took most of the day to pick them all. Some of the higher cherries took tall ladders for us to reach them.
We started with one five-gallon bucket, but once that was full, we found other containers and filled them. We found another five-gallon and fill that to the brim also!
Even as we picked all the lower branches, there were always more hanging above us. I even went onto the roof of the house to get some of the fruit near the house.
Once we picked all the cherries we could reach (about 90% of the tree), we estimated about three and a half buckets of cherries. We did some math and calculated these to be valued at several hundreds of dollars - but we're not selling, we're giving away and utilizing the cherries.
Now the priority is getting the pits out and freezing them before they go bad. We are so excited about this massive harvest.
Next up... apples come fall-time!
Bless the Most High!
Teach Your Children Liberty from Sin
We encourage parents to teach their children principles of Godliness, beginning with the Word and an understanding who God is and what His Son has done to form a relationship with us.
No one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work. 1 Corinthians 3:11-13
Teach Your children Liberty from Tyranny
Second to this is the principle of self-determination and freedom, lest we loose the ability to teach our children the first principle in future generations.
Our children read the Tuttle Twin books, specifically to learn libertarian principles, which most people learn later in life. These books are useful for our family, and yours, to teach children concepts that seem complicated, but are made simple in these books.
