We got what was called bubblegum plums at the Clinton Bailey farmers market on Saturday. If you haven't been there you really have to go this Saturday. Prime harvest season, so much stuff, so cheap it will blow your mind.

Apparently these plums are marketed as bubblegum plums but I read the hybrid that has been around for a while.

Toka is known as the bubblegum plum and has been around for a very long time. The fruit is very nice if properly ripened. Its prunus Americana (Native American plum) x prunus simoni (Chinese plum apricot.

Its unbelievable how much they smell like bubblegum. Like bazooka joe style pink bubblegum. My guess is whoever invented bubblegum used this as a base.

We had a picnic at Letchworth on Friday with (e:joe)'s family. I'm so sad we missed the pool closing time. If you have not been to that pool, you have to check it out.

We play some glow bocce, ate lots of delicious foods and mad snores. We also made friends with a wild cat.

We rode all over in the evening this week. The bike ride to windmill pt in Canada is the best. Its a nice ride along a beautiful trail. The best part is being able to cut in front of the cars at the Canadian border.

(e:joe) and I hit the beach on Saturday. The water there is so much cleaner than here. I wish it was close by but then it would be disgusting.

Sometimes the burning logs look like faces.
