It is quite unbelievable how this continent has the weather so switched around. I hope it warms soon and stays that way. <br />About the scones... I wonder if it makes a difference what kind of rhubarb you have. Mine is red all the way through.

Ours is growing like gangbusters this year and we made some panna cotta with rhubarb and raspberry compote to top it for a family party this weekend. Delish! My youngest daughter robbed the rhubarb plant to make pie but we still have plenty left. We stayed home for the weekend too, the savings in gas was incredible. Lol, I agree, half truths seem to be the norm on the news. Unbiased reporting (as well as fact checking) is a thing of the past. Let the listener beware.Kathleen Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11551093555973581448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-63912219927139299052015-05-26T05:25:13.163-04:002015-05-26T05:25:13.163-04:00New here.

Love your pics! I didn't get all of my little flags out this time. I just got back late yesterday (from Wyoming) and have been running ragged ever since, working on my very long to-do list. I picked up Angel several hours ago. She is very sleepy, LOL. I'm sure the kennel was a lot noisier than around my place. I'm moving files over to my external hard drives so that I can download my trip photos. I'm anxious to see how some of them look on the big computer screen!Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05347598432040432610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-11283004072774241802015-05-25T15:31:40.483-04:002015-05-25T15:31:40.483-04:00Your rhubarb scones may not have looked picture pe...Your rhubarb scones may not have looked picture perfect but I imagine they tasted wonderful!

It has been good for the drought here in Colorado but will cause flooding soon in some areas, whch is never good. It is too bad soem of this moisture did not stay over California where they need the rain so desperately, but a "high" system to the east is pulling it all our way, so so says the Weather Channel--lol!<br /><br />Glad you took such loving care of Brazil!

I was not a fan, so I've never had it ever again! It has been mild and lovely here, but starting on Monday it is going to heat up! The good part of that is that the new solar heater on my dad's pool will warm the pool up in time for our California family's visit! Last year, between cooler weather and my dad having issues with his pool we didn't swim in it once. Not one time! Crazy.<br /><br />I love your photos - I love seeing your cozy house and pretty yard. Seeing your flag reminded me that I need a new one. I meant to look today while I was out shopping but forgot. Sigh.
