I have been working on this hat...a light summery hat with lots of
holes. I picked a bit of our purple flowering sage out of our backyard and sprigs of mint.
Yes, our rhubarb seems to be ready, I chopped it up and cooked it in a shallow pan with a little water and sugar. I got this Crabtree & Evelyn cookbook from the library and am looking forward to making "Raspberry Zabaglione" and maybe making it into a Rhubarb Zabaglione, and trying other recipes...
To be perfectly honest, I was so excited when my husband got this book The Heirloom Life Gardener by Jere and Emilee Gettle as a birthday gift from his mom, but upon further examination I wish they'd omitted the politics. In the tomato section they comment "Even Michelle Obama grows them." And ridicule Ronald Reagan. I do like the useful gardening information, as does my husband, but wish they'd just left that other stuff out....
P.S. We have lettuce coming up! Our backyard looks like rows of dirt, but pretty soon I'm sure it will be all green!!!
