Just "plum" hilarious! or "The Awful Truth About Prunes"

This is a plum tree. We have one in our back yard. When the fruit gets ripe, we pick it. When the fruit is too ripe it falls on the ground and starts to get old. Do you know what an old dried up plum is? Mom says it's a "prune". I found out the truth about prunes today.

In this picture the plums look just like ours. "Mariposa Plums". They are the sweetest juiciest plums ever made. I think I told you about how I like to go in the backyard and play with the dropped plums? Maybe even taste ...ok, EAT...a few of them? They really are awfully good. Really!






Not all plums are prunes, but dried plums are full of copper which provide energy, and dried plums have a definite laxative effect. The energy effect makes it easier to run to the bathroom when the laxative kicks in. I personally can attest to that. And, I might add, that I had my tail end held under running water TWO times in the past 24 hours. I'm learning a lot about fruit and how to make a quick, direct hit on my piddle pad. Mom's learning how to spot clean the carpet for the few times that I don't quite make it.

I think I'm through with plums/prunes/whateverrrrr!

G'night and God bless...
