Mulberries

What a thrill for us when Eric discovered one of our Mulberry trees had berries! We knew we had a few trees, but thought they were not bearers of fruit. After the evening swim, Doug and I picked a bowlful while Max threw a Chinese star at a wall. I guess mulberry picking wasn't his thing today. Doug enjoyed himself immensely, and is looking forward to putting a sheet down and shaking berries off the tree tomorrow. We might have to make a pie.
The berries are smaller than the IL variety, but still pretty tasty. This tree is way more prolific than our tree in EV.

Doug's on a little nakee binge :)

mmmmmmm - berries!
