Carol is eating the Cherries as i write this, not a word of gratitude for risking my dumb azz

 

[Kelley (Texas)]

Does Carol ever make cherry pies? Do the bears ever mess with the cherry trees like they do the apple trees? The cherry tree was made famous the day that Sam Houston cut one down and then lied to his father about it...think he blamed someone else, maybe a brother or cousin. Please have a great day!

for the young uns a pellet gun aimed at the butt teaches a lesson and sends them packing. Now that we have no dogs i may have to get nasty with the big gun if an older bear starts trashing my fruit trees.
Not many Cherries this year and herself has about got them all ate up. She is making more trips to the "John" than usual too

loaded with Cherries of course. I waited till they were ripe then cut down the spikes and harvested the cherries

He used a .58 caliber black powder rifle and took the branches off that way. Had the neighbour come over and ask what was happeneing. So Wayne told him and all was well. :

That tree looks as though a pruning would work. Are those Queen Annes? Or Bings?

two Bings and a Royal Anne. Poor crops the last few years, no bees around and the Salmon berries bloom the same time as the Cherries, problem is that the Bumble bees like the Salmon berry blossoms better so poor pollination.

I have pruned a few trees with shotgun and rifle too

Being the gentleman that I am, I never let Grace perch on ladders like that unless I'm standing at the bottom..........and she's wearing a sun dress, of course.

i have a spring well and after many years it sanded up some and that year it was very dry so only 2 ft of water 14 ft deep and a 5 ft cement casing. I decided to clean it up and put a rope ladder in, so i'm squished down in there in my insulated waders filling a steel 3 gal bucket with a small flashlight in my mouth and getting you know what kind of cramp then Carol is hoisting the bucket up by rope. Heavy as hell the bucket is and a near slip with the rope on Carols part cause me to remember to put my hardhat on!

Geez, that's funny Wayne. I sure hope we get to tell a few tales over a few cold beers one day.
