Sharing the wealth from the garden

 

     We had sun today for most of the day.  Didn’t last, the clouds began to roll in late in the afternoon.  The rain held off until dusk.  At least it wasn’t a monsoon.  For once, it was a gentle rain.  My question is, does this count as ten days of rain?  If half of a twenty-four hour period has rain, is that considered another day of rain? 

     It wasn’t sunny enough for long enough to dry anything out.  While there was sun, I went out to weed the gardens.  I shouldn’t have looked at my rhubarb, but I did.  It needed picking, now.  There went the weeding idea.  I picked rhubarb.  I had a large quantity of fresh rhubarb.  I cut and froze some.  I baked a rhubarb custard pie.  I gave my friend G enough for her to bake a pie.  She had strawberries.  She’s making a strawberry rhubarb pie tomorrow.

     This happens to me all the time.  I start out to do one thing and something else grabs my attention.  AOADD strikes again.  Oh, yeah I was going to do some weeding…

  1. Oh I love rhubarb! I can smell that pie from here! We’re working on 12 straight days here in TN

    • Looks as though we’re in for more rain today. However, I had just enough time today to put the rest of my flowers into the garden. The planting is all done…it can rain now. 😉
