Picking Cherries in the Missouri Ozarks

Cherries were ripening and ready for picking.  "Skeezix" volunteered to pick for his GrandMa.  I lifted him into the tree with the loader on the front of the tractor.  Photo below.


    It wasnt long before he had his first bucket full and ready for another.  Photo below.


    He picked a lot of cherries.  GrandMa started helping him from the ground after we got done milking and his sisters pitched in also when they got home.  Glinda called her sister and offered her some if she would bring her own container.  Mary did, in fact, arrive with her container and Glinda shared.  After Mary left and we got back to the house I took the photo below of the cherries Glinda had left. Mary received almost as many.  Quite a haul from a small cherry tree. Should be three or four pies in there.
