MONDAY MEANDERINGS

 Monday Meanderings ... 

Here's to a new week and the end of a crazy month of June !

I know I sound like a broken record BUT, where did this month Go?

Remember way back  at the end of March and the beginning of April I posted about our "Baby Grapes"?

Well here they are now at the end of June.  A few more weeks and they will be ripe for picking.  Gotta beat the birds though ... 


I love the lovely shades of purple appearing on the bunches.
They will be ready for snacking on soon.


I went out to our plum trees the other day.

I found about 20 dried (maybe "fried") Santa Rosa plums on the ground.  That was our entire crop of those delicious, juicy plums!  I had failed to get out there in time due to the weather and all the hoop-la with Dave.

No photos  though.

Then I went to our other plum tree and picked a huge amount of what I think are called "Green Plums".

They never look ripe when looking at the outside.


But ... 

These are the sweetest tasting plums ever !

I made a lemon cake and stirred cut up plum pieces into it.

Talk about YUMMY ...

Guess what?  Its all gone and I forgot to take a picture of it ... 😃😜


Can you believe that the inside of these plums is so blood red when the outside is quite ugly?

Maybe there's a lesson there too ...

I have never seen plums like this. And the grapes are almost too pretty to pick! But I know if you don't, the birds will.
