We moved to this house last November. The yard that was so bare at the time is now beginning to feel like a completely new acquaintance. When things started growing, I wasn't even sure what all of them are. This was one of the mysteries, one first discovered by my older daughter. About a month after it appeared, my mother-in-law said it is rhubarb, and now, a couple more weeks later, I think it's pretty safe to say that there will be pie coming up shortly!It was the first truly summery day in May. We went from shivering to bare feet in a week, and our Northern skin is not ready for the intensity of this sun. There was a strange crackling kind of sound in the air all afternoon. I kept looking for the origin of it, and (unable to come up with a rational explanation) I finally just decided it's the sound of the leaves bursting out. We spent hours outside, and she ate too many cookies.
