Baby plums

This is what baby plums look like-- the little green nubs haven't fallen off (yet) but the jury is still out. Did the bees do their job? If so, we should finally have another nice crop this year. This variety is the Italian Prune, wonderful for cooking and eating. John asks for plum kuchen every summer. It just isn't the same when you have to buy the plums.

This is just to say

I have eaten

The plums

That were in

The icebox


And which

You were probably

Saving for breakfast.


Forgive me

They were delicious

So sweet

And so cold.

William Carlos Williams
