Rainy Day-Cobbler or Pie?

It is a gloomy, rainy day here. Not quite 9 AM and my little boy is clamouring to go outside. It's OK, I have a plan.

My plan consists of two pounds of dark, sweet cherries waiting to be transformed either into cobbler or pie. While Danny is a bit small for de-stoning the cherries, I can put him to work removing the stems. I figure that ought to be good for at least an hour. Beyond that, it's finger-paints, blocks and that standby every mother saves for "inside days" like today-empty cardboard boxes and oatmeal canisters! Sure, go ahead and laugh, but they are better than any toys I could buy him.

Hopefully, if you check back this evening we will have something cherry (and cheery) to enjoy.

Blech, it just began to rain.
