Cherries and the Sky

We have this really amazing Weeping Cherry tree on the path to our backyard. I love this tree. When the blossoms are on the tree, it is just beautiful.







Then the weeping limbs arrive with their bright green leaves.



And...just the other day I noticed a bunch of little orbs with a stem all over the sidewalk near the tree. Sure enough it was a bunch of little cherries. The tree actually has cherries on it. This is the first time we've seen the cherries on the tree.





I did a little research and it appears that some of these cherries are posionous. I am not quite sure about ours but we aren't going to take any chances. But, they sure are cute to see hanging from our tree.


And in other news, the evening skies have been filled with storms and wind. Here is what I saw out my front door the other night.


Kind of creepy and amazingly beautiful all at the same time, huh?
