I had an appointment with a specialist in Oliver today, so we took our first road trip of the summer season.
We hit the road fairly early, arriving in beautiful Osoyoos around 11:30. Our mission on this trip (besides the doctor) was to get cherries along the way. So just outside of Osoyoos, we found a "U-pick Cherries" place that offered them for $1.00 a pound. That is sure a lot less than fruit stands at $2.00 a pound.
And Michel likes picking cherries.... Here he is up on the ladder. I don't do ladders, so I just took pictures and ate cherries.
They are so yummy - plump and sweet - though we were told they lost a lot due to splits.... too much rain. That didn't stop Michel from picking 25 pounds of them.
We will be eating cherries for quite a while. But we did get a cherry pitter and we froze some. They will make awesome cherry smoothies.....
I took a lot of pictures. The trees were just loaded with cherries - these I believe are Vans. We were told that Bings and Vans were now ready for picking.
We carried on to Kelowna, where we spent the evening with Michel's parents. Rick got collector plates on his Chrysler -
