Cherries!!

So yesterday my husband and I picked some cherries after dinner.  They were pretty tasty and I was kind of wanting to make a cherry pie as it is a favorite of mine!!  Today was the day and I took a few pictures to boot.  Enjoy....

Well, you are probably wondering why I would want to take all that time to do something like this but it really isn't all that bad.  I find that cooking is relaxing and gives me time to actually chill out.  Not to mention keeps me out of doing back breaking yard work yet again! haa!!  I used good ole Betty Crocker's recipe for this.  I just pulled it out of the oven so I do not yet have a picture or a taste, but I will update you on that once I get to it!  Nothing beats a homemade pie made by you, free of chemicals and preservatives!  It really is the best!  Stop by sometime for a bite to eat, it may not be a cherry pie but blueberry pies are made often here!!

Finished....and ...ready to eat.

Update:

We ate this pie in 24 hrs and I had to make another!  The 2nd was better than the 1st and I want to savor every little bit!...also want to go pick more cherries and make more pies!
