Cherry pie's and cherry blossoms to hurry Spring along

BJ joined us in the studio this week to make cherry turnovers.  The recipe was super simple:
Prepare pie dough however you like and roll out into sheets, then cut into circles (the rim of a large glass works great).  For the filling add cinnamon, sugar, lemon zest and lemon juice to a few bags of frozen cherries.  Tuck some of the filling into the center of a pie dough circle, fold the dough in half and press edges with the tines of a fork to seal.  Brush with butter, sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon then bake til golden brown.  YUMMMMMMY!
Meanwhile the children and I made paper cherry blossoms and painted a large branch (salvaged from up the street) in sunny pastels.  The effect is on display in the studio as a hopeful invitation for an early Spring.  Swing by anytime to see.
