George:
Beautiful. And can you eat the plums? I suppose you know this lovely and
famous little poem by William Carlos Williams, taken from a note he jotted
down for his wife and left in the kitchen, called "This Is Just to Say":

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


Interesting: I've known this poem for more than thirty years and read it
many times and never noticed the "which" of the second stanza and how it
contradicts the "that" of the first. Hmm.

Anyway thanks for the grand plum tree.

Vince
