Mulberries

I remember when I was a kid we had a mulberry bush/hedge that surrounded our whole yard. I use to play outside barefoot. I played in the yard around that hedge, during the time the mulberry's were falling off. At the end of the day, when I came in from playing, the bottom of my feet were stained purple from the mulberries. My mom would make me wash my feet in the bathroom sink every night. The bottom of my feet were always stained purple until winter.

I thought of this today when I was reading meters and I walked under a Mulberry tree, it reminded me of my childhood, when having to wash your feet before bed was a big deal!
