We got a wonderful shipment of wood this afternoon in preparation of a weekend filled with fence building. Isn't it pretty - I love the color and smell of wood. The husband and his family are here to make my fence and I couldn't be happier at the thought of my beasts running freely around the yard without the hindrances of ropes. I hope to have a good update on Monday about it! The dogs look excited about the prospect don't they? (I thought they looked like a yin - yang sign... tee hee).
I also would like any information on this tree. It has cherry looking fruits on the branches. Could it be a choke cherry tree? Can I eat them? I would love to know!

Lia,
Happy fencing! What a wonderful gift from the in-laws. It will make your life so much easier (with both dogs and children). The tree does look chokecherryish, but someone else will know for sure.
We're ending up accidently having a party here (for the start of our 45th reunion weekend). Wish you were here to help!
Mom
Good luck with the fence! I'm also glad to here that the tail is a-okay.

Hmmmmm . . . watch some birds for a few hours after eating them and see if they keel over. If not have John try them 1st (since he's not prego!)

It looks like a Queen Ann or Ranier Cherry - but take it to a nursery and have them tell you for sure - DO NOT test it yourself. The fence sounds wonderful - tga
It isn't chokecherry - they start dark purple and go to black and never yellowish - i go with cherries too. Wish I was there to help with the fence - that is a big job . . .. Dad
My bet is that the tree is indeed a mount ranier cherry or a type in that category. The leaves look like my red cherry tree. However, I agree w/ anonymous that you should take it to a nursery and NOT test it yourself. If it indeed a Mount Rainier cherry, you are SOOO lucky. They are expensive cherries to buy and a treat to eat! Preserve and freeze the bounty!
