Yeah! Cherries! A fruit so packed with taste and lore, in poems, paintings, and punk rock songs- how we worship this fine little fruit. For many the first cherries are a sign of spring and renewal, even recalling childhood games. Pit spitting (hey – not in the office) and wearing the doubles as earrings. Robert Graves: “When I sound the fairy call, gather here in silent meeting, Chin to knee on the orchard wall, Cooled with dew and cherries eating. Merry, merry, Take a cherry.”
