| Mulberries, George Ward Park, Glen Iris, Birmingham, Alabama. April 2021. |
Now that the cold winter has finally slunk away, every day in this springtime gives my soul bounce.
When I spied the mulberries on the park path yesterday, oh sweetness!
How they took me back to another welcome spring - in Rustavi, Caucasus Georgia:

Georgia: The Tutebi are Here
 |
| Rustavi, Georgia. White tuta (mulberry) |
There are black tutas and white tutas. In the plural, they are tutebi.
Mulberries! Beloved here. They do taste good.
The black tutas have peaked, I think, and all that I found at one tree were those which had fallen onto the ground.

I had a mulberry tree in Missouri, but never saw any fruit. Evidently, it was a male, therefore fruitless.

thanks for the reminder of the first time I tasted mulberries. I was volunteering to escort abortion patients into the clinic in Falls Church, VA and they had a mulberry tree next to the driveway.
ReplyDeleteI made lasting friendships with other escorts there.
Thanks for the memories.
Judy, this is such a rich memory. I love that you shared it here. And thank goodness you and others, near the canopy of that ripe mulberry tree, walked with women who needed safe access to health care.
