Rhubarb

Sometime today, I will do the first cutting on my rhubarb plants. This will translate into Rhubarb pie, Rhubarb crisp, Rhubarb sauce, or Rhubarb jam. Bob would vote for the Rhubarb crisp. Yum!

Lone Duck

The last duck is out in the pen pretending he is a goose. His long time mate died a few weeks ago. They both arrived as eggs years ago. There were 13 eggs and their Mom hatched all of them during a huge thunder storm.. I remember her well, as she paraded into the pasture […]
