In the Mulberry Tree

This weekend the boys have been making a little cubby in their Aunts garden.
She pruned a little door into the side of a weeping Mulberry tree.
Then we spread some wood chips to make a floor and added some "wooden furniture"
Such a cozy little spot just right for little people.

    What a fabulous hideaway. We had a similar tree near our holiday house when we were growing up. I have so many happy memories of playing in the cubby with my cousins.

    of my, what an awesome place to play! Wish we had a tree like that (or a tree at all) in our backyard. Hoping to rectify that problem this spring!!

    I love mulberry trees! We have an old weeping cherry that we use as a treehouse too. I love the little opening pruned in to the side - very inviting.

    How awesome is that cubby house. What a special aunt to actually prune a kids sized doorway for her newphews! We had a mulberry tree when we were growing up - delicious! Never heard of a weeping mulberry before.

    This makes me miss the weeping mulberry tree we had in our old house - I wish we could have taken it with us. The boys would have loved a cubby like this one.

    This reminded me of my childhood days when I would hide away from my sisters just to give them a hard time...

    I love this - we have willow in N. Ireland & the UK that gives us same sort of places to hide in.
