Well then here's another blast from the past..."Mulberries"! When I was a young girl we had a Mulberry tree on our land. It was so magnificent! The perfect tree for climbing, spending lazy summer days reclined in it's branches. The lazy, hazy day's of youth. But the berries! How can I describe them with justice. Varying in colors from green to dark purple depending on ripeness...the darker the berry the sweeter the fruit. I spent countless hours lounging in that tree eating the sweet, seedless fruits of it labor, sharing them with the birds of mulberry prey. That tree had all the caricature of a national treasure. And to me it will remain so.

That's SO cool. Brad's spent a bunch of his childhood in our apricot tree.

No...he won't eat them. Not that the tree is bearing fruit anymore, mind you...
