Wild Plums!

 We have wild plum bushes down the south side of our driveway and recently, they were ready to be picked!
 It was almost like an Easter egg hunt - some in the trees, some on the ground.
 We all had fun picking them.
 Gracie helped me put them in the bucket.

 Little bit bigger than a grape. They do have a pretty color.
 Even Oscar came out to help!
 UUUGGggggghhhh! They bucket was starting to get heavy with all our plums!
 Evie took this picture - we got about a 1/3 of a 5 gallon bucket.

 And then after some research and phone calls.... I attempted to make jelly.
And it turned out great! I ended up with 30 jars!
