fields of spring...

There's nothing quite like country-living in the springtime. When the sun comes out...the fields come alive with colour....

...and even the weeds look quite lovely in bloom.

The beef cattle nearby have been put out to pasture ...and the young ones are are sticking close to mamma.

It's harvest time in the rhubarb fields in our neighbourhood...

...and the rhubarb in my garden is finding it's way to the kitchen table in one form or another.

If you are hungry for rhubarb pie...or a rhubarb streusel pie...I posted the recipe over here.

It's Tuesday...election day in British Columbia. Make your vote count!



Have a great day...

  1. Spring has arrived over here, at last, too! I thought I'd never have rhubarb, but there are a few stalks - and some asparagus - in the bits and pieces of garden out back.
    Yes - let's all vote....it's our once-in-four-years chance to have our say!

  2. Great pics! I esp love the one of the barn, cows and calf..I am a farm girl at heart!
    I'm in awe of the large rhubarb plants! I'm imagining all the 'rhubarb goodies' that crop would yield!!

  3. Yes, the dandys do transform a field to a beautiful thing. Rhubarb...can't wait to harvest some of mine...a few more weeks, I'm thinking. God bless your election day!

  6. I love the farm scenes even if I'm not a farm girl. We all need to eat and may God bless the hard working farmers!

  7. Beautiful photos, Judy. Your part of our world looks so pretty and peaceful. Rhubarb doesn't fare very well here. I think it is a bit too warm, so mine will be coming from the grocery store. I will keep that pie in mind as it looks delicious.

  10. The pictures of the barn and the cows make me feel right at home...only I am far away. The rhubarb plants look so healthy and green. I truly look forward to making that pie. It looks like it would be so good with that streusel on top, and some vanilla ice cream with it. Spring has finally arrived for you.

  15. well too bad we don't live next door - I sure envy Elmer, your family and friends who come to your gourmet bible study :-).

    My rhubarb will be just perfect for this, Ute
