So much for my bumper crop of mulberries! Although the tree is still
loaded with fruit, it is hard to find a ripe mulberry now, the birds are
obviously back at work.
I notice a temporal association between having plentiful, ripe fruit and
the presence of hundreds of thousands (could it be millions?) of cicadas
on my property.
