Spring Is Here!


Looking around there are many obvious signs of Spring.  Robins, wood ticks (ick), perennials popping up, longer days, etc.  I have a beautiful flowering plant that has just exploded in the last few days.  They don't stay flowering too long so you have to take your pictures as soon as it is in full bloom.  Also, something that I really look forward to is rhubarb becoming available, so many wonderful sauces, desserts, breads, etc can be made with this versatile plant.  I hope to make freezer jam again, something I haven't done in probably 15 years.  The kids always loved it and now hopefully I can get The Captain to love it too!  I have added some signs of Spring to share today.
