Cherry picking

While the term “cherry picking” tends to have a negative connotation as it is often used as a metaphor for investing in only highly profitable companies or choosing only the most favorable evidence in making arguments (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherry_picking) the actual activity is a lovely thing to do on a hot summer day, especially when you have a bunch of big old cherry trees on the hill just above your country house that nobody else seems to care about overflowing with fruit waiting to be picked. It brings back memories of one of the songs my mother used to sing once upon a childhood.
