Mulberries

We spent the day with my husband's parents.  We picked organges, lemons, and mulberries.  Mulberries were so much fun to pick.  My father-in-law joked that I must be a farmer.  I've always wanted a farm, but I'm a self proclaimed "black thumb".  I can grow cactus and herbs.  I have lemon balm and mint in abundance, but the constant weeding and tending of a vegetable garden has always been just outside my time and abilities.  But, I've always longed to have fruit trees.  We've always rented so the closest I've gottten so far is a big kumquat bush.  So, it was a really treat to pick mulberries on a breezy Sunday afternoon.
