Join Waukesha resident Brien Lee and his blog, Sir Fido, as they explore the city and report on the interesting things they find.
Saw a couple Alaskan Malamutes pulling my neighbor today. Not that unusual for a Fourth of July parade, but the parade was still more than an hour off and there were no sled or wagons around. As soon as the large dogs saw Sir Fido and me, they pulled the stout man across his lawn and made a bee-line for the other side of the street where we were. Without too much thought, we changed direction and never looked back.
Our goal was to visit the neighborhood's largest mulberry tree, which happens to overhang the sidewalk, so we took a circuitous route to get there. The area mulberries have been ripening for over a week now and, thanks to last night's rain, the sidewalk was covered with the purple berries. I helped myself to a few large berries fresh off the tree and really enjoyed them. The fruit look just like blackberries but don't taste quite as sweet. They stain paws and hands that come in contact with them. It's one of the prices I gladly pay for a mouthful of sweet berries.
