Here We Go Round the Mulberry Tree...

We have three mulberry trees along our treeline in our backyard. Last summer, they didn't really produce much, but this summer they are completely filled with berries! As nice as this sounds, it does cause a few problems: berries on the ground, berry stains on the playset, Ian's clothing, and Ian's hands, feet and crocs, and stains from the birds, who are obviously enjoying eating them, too! Yuck! On the bright side, Ian is completely loving the fact that he can pick them, eat them, and even has plans to "smash them for my peanut butter and jelly sandwich."

Sorry for the dark pictures, but these were taken just before bedtime last night. He is so proud of his cup full of mulberries!
