Your photos and recipes always make me drool — usually for the food, lately for the beach, and today for your picnic basket! Will you tell where it came from or must it be a secret?

I used to go to Plum Island when I was a child. I love that it was a lot less populated than Hampton Beach (which I still dislike.)

That said, we used to pick beach plums there, about 20 years ago. I do not know if there are still beach plums around; locals may not tell you if you ask in order to keep them a secret (it’s the same at the Cape.)

Keep an eye out for them though. They make excellent plum kuchen. They grow on shrubs, not trees. I’ve included a website so you can identify them: http://www.hort.cornell.edu/extension/commercial/fruit/mfruit/beachplum.html.

By my calculations, tomorrow would be next Sunday! You are so lucky to have such a fantastic place so close by to go to and the ability to enjoy all it’s seasons! I love end of the summer on the beach! And I love your tart. Next year, I am going to put out at least 6 tarragon plants. My one this year just struggled - so I must put out enough so that one finds the right spot.

Wow, les clichés sont d’un grand art. Je suis vraiment ébahie par tant de beauté, surtout l’oiseau volant au ras du sable et la mer prise de face. Tu es une merveilleuse photographe!!
