William Theodore Van Doren. Stony Point, Albemarle County, Va. Oil on paper, 16 x 20.

More wild black cherries today on the trail with Flint. I don’t know about chipmunks feasting on the pits, but if these wonderful purple-black–skinned babies aren’t comparable to tomatoes and grapes and chock full of antiaccidents, or nontoxicants, and likeopium, then, as someone used to say, I’ll be a blue-nosed gopher.
