Plums

They say taste and smell can take you back in time.

True! I've always believed this and I had a fun time reminiscing while eating a plum today. My first bite of sweet, juiciness brought me back to my Grandma's house. I was climbing her plum tree with Jonathan and we were picking ripe, purple plums and eating them. Then my Grandma walked over with a bucket and we filled it for her.

Sitting in a plum tree, licking sticky fingers and watching little birdies on a warm, sunny day. That is paradise. Can I be 10 again? But only for the fun days -- the climbing trees-kick the can-shell collecting-sunny days.

I know what you mean! We grew up to a plum tree and we also picked them at our grandparent's house! Sure does bring back memories, especially if you had the experience climbing the trees to pick them and EAT them! :)

How fun. That is how I feel when I smell sage brush. I grew up wandering around the hills of Northern Nevada, and sagebrush takes me back everytime.
