Those were new to me, and I learned the promoters put no one there to spare them mulberry stained canopies. I used to pick and eat them, right from that tree.

Not sure if ...Your mulberry tree sounds wonderful. Not sure if I've ever tried mulberries or not, but blackberries are a favorite, and I just bought blackberry jam. It's fun to hear what you used to do when you were young using the berries as lipstick and making clover chains. Very creative. Childhood is a time for imagination, and I remember my own playtime building dirt forts in the fields with the neighborhood kids. Oh, those memories are what makes us smile, aren't they?<br /><br />~SheriRed Rose Alleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685747099912989862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4647919454370211644.post-82617106097539291562021-04-25T16:16:20.825-06:002021-04-25T16:16:20.825-06:00I remember having a mulberry tree in our yard when...I remember having a mulberry tree in our yard when I was a kid in Texas. I seem to recall, as you mentioned, that they didn't have a lot of taste to them, but it was always fun to get a free treat from a tree! <br />Funny thing, my daughter just said today that from now on they're going to name their dogs after vacuum cleaners (Hoover, Dyson, Roomba, etc.) as we watched one of the family dogs cleaning up some crumbs from the floor. :)Lisa Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00567160304529796810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4647919454370211644.post-88204154653257871222021-04-25T15:50:14.391-06:002021-04-25T15:50:14.391-06:00I loved this post.

When I was a child we used to make whipped cream out of evaporated milk and put it on the mulberries.

Uncle Jim came home to find the street full of glass and his precios crepe myrtle. lets just say that was the LAST time. ha haMadSnapperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08163140037276496519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4647919454370211644.post-21658193433126898742021-04-25T07:07:25.268-06:002021-04-25T07:07:25.268-06:00Interesting, I never knew there was fruiting Mulbe...Interesting, I never knew there was fruiting Mulberry trees.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00813637655711555894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4647919454370211644.post-44809647573106663582021-04-25T06:35:22.794-06:002021-04-25T06:35:22.794-06:00I enjoyed this post so much.
