good black mulberry

*

what i wanted to post last time is this:

black mulberry.

there are several mulberry trees in the park,

but no one seem to be keen on or keen to notice them.

maybe because they are truly tall trees

unlike ones you may usually imagine in your garden?

meanwhile, this time of year,

everyone would certainly notice a score of the purple stains on the park path.

last week, when i was walking through the park,

one mulberry dropped from up above.

now, you can guess what was in my mind?

i really hope you'd never think i’m a rubbish-picker, though.

it’s fun and quite palatable to do this.

yes, i started picking up mulberries, but only genuinely fresh ones.

as my crop piled up in a small bag, just enough to fill a small café-au-lait bowl,

i took it home and washed and hulled thoroughly.

voilà, my own homemade mulberry jam

it’s yummy to have some with yogurt,

it’s even yummier to be used for victoria sponge!

yesterday was a perfect summer’s day.

i saw a huge number of ripe mulberries still dropping from trees in the park.

disappointingly, the weather turned humid and bad today.

this year’s rainy season has just begun in my region...sigh.

how are you enjoying your sunday?
