Mulberries


Believe it or not, sometimes I get depressed with politics.  Today I went back to my friend George, who had spread tarps beneath his mulberry tree, and I picked up mulberries to make mulberry jelly.  

I pickled half a bucket full, but I do need more.  I’ll go back Sunday for the rest--by that time more will have fallen.  When I was ready to leave, George gave me a bottle of his mulberry wine.  This is prize-winning wine, vintage 2011.  It was a very good year.  I’m not thinking about politics right now.  I’m not depressed.
