After we had our buckets weighed and took our cherries home, we were left with the question: what to do with so many cherries before they spoil?

It occupied the rest of the weekend:

• we ate a whole bunch
• we visited friends and gave them cherries
• we had a lemonade-and-cherry stand and sold some to neighbors
• we made home-made cherry ice cream
• and .... WE STILL HAVE CHERRIES LEFT!
