When it rains, it pours... cherries

So the other day, I was out in the orchard during a sudden downpour, and I swear I saw more cherries falling than raindrops. I guess Mother Nature had a sense of humor! Between dodging the slippery ground and trying to catch the fruit, my crew and I had a good laugh. Anyone else had a ridiculous day like that on the farm?

I can relate! It sounds like you turned that downpour into a cherry-picking adventure; bet you had some good stories to share over dinner that night — maybe with a cherry pie on the side? Ever thought of using a tarp next time to catch the fruit?

That sounds like a wild day! I’ve had my fair share of unexpected farm antics, but dodging fruit in a downpour must’ve been a sight to see. Do you think the cherries were throwing a party or just trying to escape the rain?

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌‍‍‍​⁠​‌‌‍‍‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠​‍​⁠​⁠​⁠‌‍​⁠​⁠​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠‌⁠​⁠​​​⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌​‍‍‌​‌‍‌‍‍⁠​⁠​‌​⁠​⁠‌⁠​​‌​‍‍‌‍‌‍‌‍⁠​‌‍​‌‌‍⁠​​⁠‌‍‌‍​⁠​⁠​‍‌​‍‍​⁠‌​​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌

That sounds like such a fun twist on farm work! We once had a similar cherry mishap during harvest — all hands on deck for rescue! Ever caught a cherry before it hit the ground? :cherries:.
