"I think that New Mexico was the greatest experience from the outside world that I ever had.
It certainly changed me forever ... The moment I saw the brilliant proud morning (sun) shine high up over the deserts of Santa Fe,
something stood still in my soul."

Our plum tree.
We have this tree in our back yard with dark red leaves ... and right now it is all covered with fragrant blossoms. We have wondered for almost a year now what kind of tree it is.
Yesterday we were at Santa Fe Greenhouses, and we saw these trees for sale. Cistena plum tree. That's what it is.
Very beautiful blossoms! There was a stand of wild plums (big purple plums) on our property in Questa. I have some pretty funny memories of picking those and making jelly.

"ISN'T SPRING WONDERFUL??? "
Yup. Indeed!
Well, by golly, if this bush produces any plums, then I am going to try to make jelly!
