Rhubarb Hunting

 I wanted to bake strawberry rhubarb pies for some friends for mother's  day so we headed to the country to buy some rhubarb.

 The fields are blooming and are beautiful.

 The market is in a big old barn.

 On weekends they play music and have vendors in the parking lot.

 And bingo...freshly cut rhubarb.

 They also sell their famous blueberry donuts.

On the way home we passed field after field which had been recently planted with corn.

Happy Mother's Day to everyone!

Our rhubarbs are still rather small, especially here in my village. The ones growing where I work however are bigger so now some of us sneak out when we can to pick a stalk or two to have as a snack :-)

Have a great day!

Nothing as yummy as a blueberry donut. My hubby's favorite pie is strawberry rhubarb. It looks like you had a wonderful time. Happy Mother's Day.

Oh I love rhubarb! More like the look and the name of it than the rhubarb itself. I remember my grandmother's garden had rhubarb and I think she used to make rhubarb pies and maybe if I am not mistaken rhubarb jam. I do remember eating rhubarb jam on toasts anyway.
