On Cherries, Litchies or On Growing Up in Different Places

I must admit I get excited about fresh cherries. Whenever we are near an orchard or farmers market at the right time and place we need to get some. Lots actually, not just some. Last time we we were in California I probably ate 5 pounds. I do remember the beautiful Austrian cherry trees I climbed in my childhood, and I remember the sweetness…
Leilani however could care less. She will eat them, unless they have tiny brown spots or are too soft. But she doesn’t get excited. Not at all.
Now litchies or longans or rambutans, that’s different, that gets her excited (and begging) for the most expensive items on our farmers markets.
