We have had some fantastic end of summer weather recently. Friend Roberta and I visited Don on the Hill on Friday so she could appreciate his marvelous view AND pick some of his marvelous plums. He has 2 large trees that have not produced much in the past few years, but this year, for some reason, so many they bent the branches to the ground. It just made it that much easier to go pickin'.
But what do you do with all those plums? Jam was the easy part. I am still finding some new recipes. This is a really easy, really good one (easier still when you have too much goat cheese)! I have made it twice in the last week.

The featured photo is from the walk in the creek that we took after the plum-picking adventures. Since we could not go in the direction we planned in search of the heron and ducks—beaver dam with a deep pool, weeds were too high—we went out to the road. As we got to the overpass, there were 2 horses having a drink. As we approached, they wandered off out of sight. Damn shame they couldn't wait for us to get a better pic!
