I looked out the window and what did I see?

Mulberries growing on our mulberry tree! When I was a little girl in California, we had an elderly neighbor who had a mulberry tree in his front yard. It's branches drooped over the sidewalk & stained it purple. I remember taking a little bucket over to his house & asking if I could pick berries. He always let us have as many as we wanted, and I would eat so many that I would end up with a belly ache. Growing vegetables & fruits just makes me so happy. There is something so satisfying in being able to produce your own food, or really anything I suppose. Just like a little kid I want to take it to everyone I know & say "Look what I did!" We also have a pomegranate tree & a fig tree. The fig tree is still very small, & I don't think we will have fruit for quite some time. I am planning to make jam, syrup and pie filling with my fruit. Hooray for nature's bounty!
