Our trip to Santa Rosa for the Smothers Brothers concert was planned as a leisurely drive along Interstate 80 then up U.S. 101. We had no idea just how leisurely it would be. About halfway between Sacramento and Davis (and about 1:00 pm) the oncoming traffic began to get thicker and thicker until around Dixon it was bumper to bumper. It was hard to tell how fast the cars were going but I would certainly be it wasn't 60 or 70.
Shortly after turning onto Highway 101 we ran into that "leaving San Francisco" traffic and our drive suddenly became much more "leisurely". Fortunately, it was still beautiful country. Right by this lovely mansion pictured above, was a sign advertising "sweet cherries". Since this was just the beginning of the season, it was difficult to resist.
We pulled over and Carolyn ran to the hastily built roadside stand. They were more expensive than we expected but they were sweet and they were available.
We did notice that every single cherry was a cull, a "belly flop" in Jelly Belly nomenclature. Talk about making lemonade out of the lemons you get in life!
