The mulberry bush!! Okay, in our yard they are mulberry trees. And the kids are always SUPER excited when it is mulberry time around here.

Is is because they love when I make mulberry pie? No. (for the record I have never made mulberry pie as I know that I am the only one in the family that would eat it...and love it. *sigh*)

Why, then, you might ask? Well, it is for the MESS, of course! The kids love to pick the berries and squish them. This year a new fun has formed:
