Around the house last week

This past week was our first week of summer - it doesn't seem like it's time for summer but here it is - and it's hot already.  

 Outside is where we seem to spend most of our time - no matter how hot or windy it is.

 I spray painted this little metal table sun yellow.  It had been rusty and worn out, but after I got the rust off, primed and painted it that old table is a fun splash of color outside.

 Dry and dusty

 The mulberry trees are just about done producing berries for the season.

 I picked enough to make mulberry-rhubarb croustades. In the event that you find yourself without tapioca to add to your pie filling, just know that it works to sift the tapioca out of a regular box of tapioca pudding to thicken the filling.  I'm happy to have tested that out for you.....

 They were delicious with vanilla ice cream.
