When I think of mulberries I am a little girl in a tree getting mulberry stains in my dress, knowing full well that my grandmother, both nanny and housekeeper to my working mother, would be livid because those stains never totally came out, as I’d been told many times. But it was worth it! Thanks for the memories...
We were overwhelmed with mulberries on our farm in Iowa. I remember doing all the things that Gaywynn is now busy with. The Mulberry crumble was my favorite
A beautiful ode to the humble mulberry! And THAT'S how to write a nature essay---not just the worrisome present conditions, but with hope for future generations.
Well, you can raise silkworms. I'm sure I'm not the first person who has mentioned that! Beautiful piece, Richard. How far north do mulberries thrive, do you know?

Looks like New Jersey, Long Island, with patches in Massachusetts and New Hamsphire.
