In memory of my major from long ago

Someday, I think I’ll buy myself a red wheelbarrow. But not a white chicken, because I don’t eat chicken or eggs, so there’s really no point to that one. I think perhaps I would not buy myself an icebox either, because the freezer in my future refrigerator will suffice nicely, I’m sure. But as plums go, would I really put them in my freezer? I would eat them before they could be frozen. Maybe. Which I say because I realized today that I’ve never actually eaten a plum. Never in my life that I can remember, at least. Are they really so delicious? I’m not convinced. Breakfast is my favorite meal. I don’t know if I would risk it. But maybe I would be willing to try one of D.H.’s figs. He does make my mouth water when he writes of them.
