Land of Plums

Once upon a time, long ago, plums tasted of plums, and those nostalgic days remind me of my mother's delectable plum dumplings. They were truly a treat, and I once set a personal record by devouring 17 of them in one sitting! While I didn't feel my best afterward, every bite was worth it. Just a sweet little memory to share!
