After canning more than enough small yellow plums from our tree, my Mom was wondering what to do with the rest. So she decided she hadn't visited some of her neighbours for awhile, and she put the remaining 7 grocery bags of plums into the car and drove up and down the line visiting and dropping them off. With one bag left, she decided my childhood girlfriend could use it, and that is why, for several years, she was known as "the plum lady."
