I've mentioned that I've joined the community garden across the block, right? Well, at present its huge mulberry (you
know it) is driving everyone crazy. In the tree the berries - white, then red, then black - are as pretty as one of those Chinese trees fashioned of semiprecious stones. But when ripe the black berries fall squishily everywhere, soiling everything. But when life give you lemons... I took home a bag of them, and found a yummy cobbler-like recipe - on a local blog!

(The pink is anjou pear, added for contrast.
