One of my favorite memories is of the two French women who lived next door to me when I lived in the city. My husband and I were young, and barely making rent. My neighborhood was packed with triple-decker homes with very little green space. The two women next door somehow managed to make their tiny yard into the French countryside with an old cherry tree as its centerpiece. One hot day, I arrived home, after a grim ride on the subway, to find a wicker basket, lined with a linen towel, brimming with bright cherries waiting by my door. At that moment, I was transported. I have never forgotten how that small gesture changed me. When life gives you cherries, share them 🍒 #cherries #berrybowl #frenchfarmhouse #frenchcountry #countryinthecity
