15 hours on the farm

my sister and her fiance have some property, with a house and a whole lot more, a ferry ride from seattle... it is a wonderful place, completely wonderful. saturday evening, at 6, i decided i needed to get over there for the night.  sunday morning i awoke early and in the hour or so i lay in bed listening to the birds the fog rolled in. it took a while to lift, leaving lovely views as it did...  this is what the walnut tree they are going to be married under looked like at 7:30 or so...

suzy has decided she is going to be a farmer....

rhubarb - for a pie one day...

chives, lots and lots of chives

strawberry leaves and dew. beautiful.

i decided i am going to enjoy her crop...

i was on the ferry again by 12:30, headed home to go to the symphony with mom and then a kind of family dinner - but i panicked because i ran out of time... the real dinner will be on the 17th or so with a mother's day celebration in the meantime...  instead we had pizza and the rhubarb pie suzy and i made after looking at all the little plants popping out of the ground that will one day feed us...

thanks suzy...  it was a very good 15 hours.
