Memories of Mulberries

Visiting my Grampa and Gramma J's in the summer time I remember fondly their mulberry tree in their back yard, running around with my siblings and cousins and when in season picking the mulberry's from their tree. It was always a treat when they finally were in season. I remember the smell and still love the taste. So whenever I pleasantly run into a mulberry tree I am flooded with childhood memories again and feel like I'm a little girl eating candy off a tree:)

But what do you do with mulberries? I wonder if my Gramma J ever made jam or pie with them? We didn't pick enough for a pie or jam but I found this yummy recipe for muffins and they were good! Thank you God for mulberry trees in our favorite park in the neighborhood!

Memorial Day (Part 3)

We had a great time over at Steve's parents on Monday, the kids enjoyed their cousins and the water so much. It was a beautiful day for a picnic and and we are grateful to Mom & Dad for the things they did to make the day special for everyone.
