Mulberry Delight

We ate the bamboo but one can only eat so much bamboo. Mulberries, however, won't be a problem. I've got plans for these under appreciated berries. Today we made muffins. Tomorrow, mulberry wine !

You may also notice that some of the mulberries are white. For a few days I wondered why the mulberries on one tree in the alley weren't ripening and then I noticed that some of the berries were large and soft. I tasted one and it was sweet and ripe. Then, I recalled from my readings that there is such a thing as white mulberries. They taste just like the black ones to me.

We had both white and black at Bloomingdale. J. is very happy that we have one out back by the alley at the new place. Our berries should be coming in too - just back from beach today so I haven't checked it yet. Hope your muffins turned out well - they look scrumptious and so does little girl child! Is that a finished deck I see behind her???

Yummm! We have a tree inn our neighborhood but it is near the railroad track which they spray with pesticides so we just moon over the berries....
