    Congrat’s Bart … and I adored your poignant finale .
    “Mulberry season is precarious—
    and a man can’t be held responsible
    in these perilous times.”
    … and thank you for the link to ‘MasticadoresUSA’

    A short and lovely piece, Bartholomew, that brings to mind similar thoughts and experiences with my own mulberry tree. :)
