It's raining mulberries, hallelujah !
Early yesterday morning about 2 am we had a deluge. It very briefly awoken me,before rapidly heading back asleep
The large amount of water prevented me from playing softball last night.
.
One other result, was that it knocked a lot of ripe black mulberries off of a large tree on the side of my house.
There also, I have sugar snap peas transplanted there adjacent to a trellis
and I wanted to see how their growth is progressing this morning.
When I got to that side of my house, I noticed that the whole area was a carpet of fallen mulberries.
Thousands of them. A natural bounty.
There's tons more on the ground and way more still up in the tree.
The squirrels and birds love them.
So, I picked up a generous handful off the ground, rinsed them off with the hose and plucked the small green stem off of each of them.
I had not prepared breakfast yet, so I went inside and prepared oatmeal with a mixture; 1/2 mulberries + 1/2 grapes. Yum !
If you have never eaten mulberries, their flavor is not as powerful as a blackberry, not even as much as a blueberry. It's a subtle somewhat similar flavor to a blackberry, not as sweet either.

And Snow Peas.....YUMMMM
I have both white/yellow mulberries and black mulberries on my property.
The yellow ones are more towards the back of the property and are not anywhere near ripe yet. The black ones are at their peak.
The blackberries will be much later in the summer.
Incidently, I bought 10 more mangoes there last night before my game.
e - In that case, may I suggest you pick the mulberries that evening and put them in the refrigerator overnight.
hoping they will be there in the morning for your breakfast.
In my case there is such an abundance, that the birds & squirrels couldn't possibly eat them all
in 24 hours. If they even tried, I would find lots of them laying face up on the ground, holding their bellies and groaning.
I didn't know about the sulfur dioxide, I usually don't buy them but they were in the trail mix so I ate them. I decided to google it to see how harmful it really was and it said it won't kill you directly...lol Probably make you so sick you wish you were dead.
That's the best advice I can give you.
And read silent weapons for quiet wars.
Nice use of halleluyah, though. Eye
Didn't think you were of a mind
To thank the Creator.
