The wisdom that is  from above is first  pure, than peaceable , gentle easy to
be intreated, full of mercy and good  fruits, without partiality and hypocrisy...
James  3: 17



It was interesting to discover the word  jam in the name James ( the book of
the Bible) after I chose the verse above for this page. There is no reference
to plum  jam of course in the concordance..I usually try to find key words
as you may have noticed to correlate with the theme of my pages.

This is the only year we've had enough plums to do anything with, and we
think the hot dry weather might have had something to do with the
bumper crop...We planted two plum trees about 10 years ago in our back
yard and usually the birds ate what few they produced.  The  orioles  who
come in the spring may like to get a taste of homemade Plum Jam, but
they will have to settle for store bought Grape Jelly!



 

~JAM  MAKER~

Dorsey, is the jam maker and my spouse
He is well organized around the house ~
Without macho hypocrisy or ill repute...
He keeps the pint jars filled with fruit!


Now that I am sixty years young~ 
The birthday gifts I've savored home spun
Will be remembered most flavored in plum.
How gentle and easy it is to be treated;
When the host is my man..and not conceited,
Toast with jam are both well greeted!
