Fresh Farmers' Market Fruits

I went to the Sunnyvale Farmers' Market to pick up some fruits and vegetables. I found some sweet strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, nectarines, and plums.


The plums were so good after an hour in the refrigerator. Biting into a plum, the purple skin gives way to the soft yellow flesh, releasing sweet, cold juices into my mouth. Mmm...these plums remind of a poem from high school:

This Is Just To Say

by William Carlos Williams

I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox

and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast

Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold
