After patiently watching the plums grow all summer we finally decided that it was time to pick!
This past week Phoenix showed me that one morning the local squirrels had decided that the plums were ready.
So we decided to beat them to it!
There is no way to describe the sweet flavor of a freshly picked plum that is still warm from the sunshine.
The squirrels did get their hands on about 20 or so plums that they took a bite of and then dropped to the ground, but this year.....the rest are OURS!
I can hardly wait to taste the jam!
