Michigan Cherries & Free Download
Tuesday, September 15th, 2009
I spent several weeks on Torch River this Summer with my family. In several upcoming posts I will share some of our adventures. A trip to pick cherries is one of my favorite “Up North” traditions. This Summer my niece Paige (4) and my daughter Emma (7) and I visited Nagy Orchards in Kewadin, Michigan. We were there at the end of the picking season which was several weeks later than usual and lasted longer than in past years because of the cool weather throughout July. We found several dark cherry trees to pick from and rows of sour cherries were several rows over. We ended eating almost as many as we picked! They were delicious! Mr. Nagy graciously took us on a tour of the processing of cherries after they are shaken from the trees . They are stored in huge containers of ice cold water before being lifted on to the cherry truck (school bus with only the cab) to be delivered to the cherry processing plant several miles away. This farm harvests 1.4 million lbs of cherries each year. Sweet cherries are best straight off the stem, sours are for my mom’s cherry pies, and dried cherries are for salads and cookies. Here is a recipe I tried last week and the whole family enjoyed!!

Geranium Pelargonium
Friday, August 7th, 2009
As a child I always remember my mother planting geraniums for the summer. I have to admit I am not fond of the plants, I am guessing because they are too familiar and ordinary in my mind. As I was collecting art for The Vintage Workshop I came upon images of more unique geraniums that I was very fond of, and this year as I shopped my local hardware stores garden center I was thrilled to find the Pelargoniums! This is a photo of my purchase. Click here to learn more about the plants http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelargonium including the fact that these flowers are a deterrent for mosquitoes.
