Mulberries under my toes

The past two weeks have been very wet in the midwest... So yesterday, before it could rain again, I took the opportunity to mow before the mini trees in my front yard started scaring my dogs. There were a lot (6-12" tall) and gave the party-ers across the street something to talk about on Saturday night...

I usually trim at least one side of our chain link fence closely each time I mow and this time I went down the length of the fence and found a surprise at the end. Our mulberry trees were in production, big time! I let the mower shut off and ate my fill of the upper branches so eventually when I tell the kids *IF I tell the kids* then they can enjoy some later. And of course I told the kids... I sent Meri down to them this morning to take these pics... She took taxes apparently... There are 3 huge mulberry trees back by the creek dipping over the fence. I'm surprised the dogs haven't started pulling the branches down and eaten some of them yet.

Mmmmmmm! Delish!

But don't eat the frosted ones...
