The pink roses had their moment and now the white rose bush has given up her beauty for us.
I like to call this spray of multiple rose blossoms "The Queen and her Handmaidens." The Queen blooms the first and is surrounded by multiple buds. This time we were lucky, and the handmaidens burst into bloom becore the Queen died. The Queen, the original bloom, is the middle one of the three in front...a huge crape-paper bloom. The others came quickly; sometimes they dont even all make it...but they did. The rose to the right was on the same bush but was a lovely solo rose....they are all white with a creamy rosy undertone toward the center. Lovely!!!
And, as for the cherries, you know how you have to buy too many at the supermarket? They come in huge packages that defy easy separation. So I got a million cherries, in a household where only one person eats them. I got creative. I made "Cherry Cornbread." Just use your favorite cornbread recipe, add a bunch of pitted cherries cut in half to the batter, and bake as usual. Delicious with butter. Just do not skimp on the salt. All this salt-skimping is ruining the taste of some dishes. The sweetness of the cherries needs the full complement of salt in the batter as a complement. Just delicious!! Try it~ YAZZYBEL
