Japanese cherry season!

This weekend, I and my husband went to our granma's house,Japanese cherry orchard.



The cherry season is only 2-3 weeks and it's quite busy season for them to pick them up and place in the box etc, so we went there to help her (she is 82 years old!)but most of the time we just pick up ant ate them




Hope we could help some!



It takes time to place cherry in a box!



Her house is at Yamanashi, next to Tokyo province, and I love country side in Japan very much. Great atmosphere-



Breakfast (I know Japanese people eat a lot!)



Old houses in their town



They usually don't sell bad shape ones, so she gave us a lot of them and I made cherry Jam and some sweets after we came back home.
