Friday, I didn't work out.
Saturday, I did some serious yard work and carried gallons of water up a huge hill. It was definitely a work out, albeit, not my usual.
Sunday I did as a day of rest anyways, even though I missed Friday. Sometimes you just have to take a break.
Today, I will be working my abs and obliques, and might throw in some leg stuff too.
Now for some fun....I found a Mulberry Tree in my parent's yard. Alright, I thought it was a blackberry tree at first, since they look remarkably like blackberries, but I was informed blackberries don't grow on trees.
After confirming that the berries were, in fact, mulberries, my whole family went out and picked a huge bowl full off of the tree. After a bit, we got a huge sheet, put it under the tree, and had Dad shake the limbs. Mulberries everywhere! My legs and hands and feet were stained purple (from kneeling on the ground).
I cleaned the berries THREE times to get rid of any unwanted things...since they were wild mulberries, and Mom and I made cobbler and mulberry syrup.
You pick the black ones, just like blackberries. They're sweet and have a unique taste AND the seeds are practically nonexistent! I don't eat blackberries because of seeds, but these are wonderful!
I have never seen a mulberry tree before, but from now until September (when the tree quits producing fruit), I'll be picking mulberries every time I go up to my parents. We'll be freezing them so we can eat them throughout the year.
The next time I make a cobbler, which my mom showed me the BEST recipe for yesterday, then I will post the recipe. You will be thanking my mom for the deliciousness, that's for sure.
Now to workout.
