bowl + cherries = life (starting to get it)

I recently changed the blog title (again) and added more photos of my cherry tree, which boasts perfectly tart and tasty cherries. Typically at this time of year the neighbours come over with bowls and we all have our fill – but this year, for whatever reason, the cherries never arrived.

Is this some sort of trend or metaphor? No, it just is.

When my home was burglarized last fall I did go through all the emotional stages you hear of (denial, anger, acceptance) --though very quickly. For the most part it just was what it was and you keep on going and make adjustments based on the new truth.

It does help that the police found my camera – I love that camera! (Keep those serial numbers people!!) Oh, and my burglar was dimmer than most – he took a bunch of photos of his house and car before taking it to the pawn shop…

The burglar's house


Photos of him and his family (and JESUS) on top of the TV


and the inside of his car!!
