Who loves plums?

Bees love plums!

I love plums!

Nothing smells quite as wonderful as plum blossoms. For about a week they overpower the whole yard, and it's an absolutely divine time of year. One evening I sat outside with Sunny, my hamster, and let him eat some of the blossoms. It's one of the few events that literally makes me stop and smell the flowers. (for a short while, anyway; it didn't stop me from planting carrot and parsnip seeds, chopping the suckers off my unidentified suckering tree, or tackling a juniper root ball that is in the way of me planting sunflowers.)
