Try as I may, I am having a hard time keeping up with the blog this summer. And I'm not really trying very hard!
These are the last two quilts I pinned for Grandma -- This one is sweet with the butterfly embroideries and appliques.
She also had a small hexagon quilt with some "leftover" blocks.
The plum tree is loaded with big juicy plums. Followers will know I have collected a lot of plum recipes. I've tried a few more this year: a version of
plum jam that I call "Plum Preserves." It's no-pectin added, it' cooked 4 different times, and it is like a cross between plum jam and plum butter (
Pflaumenmus).
This is the plum preserves together with a batch of plum-orange jam.
For a light refreshing dessert you might try
Plum Flummery. I nestled this serving in the kettle of plums... and there are a lot more on the tree. I am not sure whether I'll be dehydrating any plums this year, but we recently defrosted the freezer so we'll be able to freeze quite a bit. I have found a lot of recipes I would like to try on Pinterest. These plums are wonderful eaten fresh ... I wish we could have them fresh all year long!
Quarta's 12th birthday was observed with appropriate fanfare and a gooey chocolate caramel cake. And a trip to Joann's to buy a rubber band loom and beads. And a date with Mom and Dad to see the Parade of Homes.

Plumb good looking plump plums!
The prickly pear across the lane is loaded with the best looking fruit in the valley. If you were here, you could make jam from that.
