Nica, aren't you in Kansas?

the plum thicket looks like the ones around home, Wichita Falls, Texas.

Picked a lot of plums for grandma to can, flushed quite a few coveys of quail in the fall and shot rattlesnakes sunning themselves under the bushes in the summer.

Hey Jim..........Kansas is correct. Should have used Nicahawk for my ID. Maybe Doc can change it for me.

This year is the best crop in several years, so will be going back to pick more. Sure would like to make a little wine. :mrgreen:

As for the rattlers, we have a few. I'm always on the watch for them, and prepared!
