cherries, mon cheri

It's cherry season, baby! They aren't quite perfect yet, but they're certainly edible (and affordable...$2.99/lb. at Vons). I think I may be in heaven.

It's funny, I absolutely love cherries (my favorite fruit) and they have such a short season. Soon after it goes, I just sort of forget about it. But when it rolls around again and I start to see those luscious dark bulbs I get really excited. And the season is about twice as long (two months rather than one) in L.A. as it is back east. That's a nice perk.
