A day of firsts

Saturday, May 13, 2017

I had a couple of loads of laundry to take care of and it looked like a nice enough day to hang the clothes outside. I went out to the clothesline and had a couple of items hung when I saw some pretty dark clouds overhead. The forecast said a chance of showers in the morning so I decided to bring the clothes back inside.

We went out to our first Farmer’s Market of the season this morning. Pat stood in line for some fresh bread and I picked a line for some rhubarb. She had eggs for sale (which we needed) and I also picked up a package of lettuce and some radishes. We stopped for a cinnamon bun and ended up visiting with several different folks we saw along the way. We could have had a Cranberry Hall board meeting if we wanted; one of our members sells her pottery at the market and the rest of us were shopping.

When I got home I decided to hang the clothes out. It hasn’t brightened a lot this afternoon, but I don’t think there has been any rain. This is the first time I’ve had clothes out on the line this year. It has been a crazy spring!

We’re going out for dinner tonight – an early Mother’s Day. We talked about going out for dinner tomorrow but there aren’t a lot of choices open on a Sunday evening. I’ll be in a sewing class for the next two days and will be happy to stay home tomorrow night.

I have another card ready for binding tonight and, just maybe, I’ll make our first rhubarb crisp of the year.
