A trash find

Last night's sunset from the front porch again.

🌸     🌸
Looked out the window this morning when I first got up
and there were 7 deer roaming around out back.

The temperature was 48 degrees this morning at 6:30 when
I left the house.
A calm sunny morning.
Had another Netflix to bring to the library so walked to town again
this morning.

Walked around both cemeteries when I first got to town.
They are both at the beginning of town.

Then went to the post office.
It was trash day in town and by one of the day care centers
there was a little stand of homemade shelves sitting there waiting to get thrown away.
I walked by it at first on the way to the post office.
I kept thinking about those shelves though.
So I went back to check them out.
They need painting but are nice and sturdy.
I knocked on the door and asked if I could have them.
The woman was very nice and said sure, you're welcome to them.
Told her I couldn't take them right now because I was out walking
but would be back to pick it up later.

That put a little skip in my steps as I headed back home.

Saw a couple of deer while walking and quite a few rabbits.
Some just down the road from my house and the others
hopping around the lower cemetery.
A delightful morning walk.
Walked 6 miles

Did a few things around inside the house this morning
 one of which was to make the Rhubarb Cobbler with the rhubarb

I picked out of the garden at the old house yesterday.
Just couldn't wait till tonight to have some,
so had a little taste right out of the oven.
Didn't have any vanilla ice cream but did put a dab
of redi whip on it.

Late morning we drove to town and picked up the stand of shelves.

Had lunch out and then stopped at the Shop and Save.
Had to pick up a couple of cake mixes and cans of icing
because I have to make them and bring them to church tomorrow evening.
 Mentioned last month that it was tract month at church
and we split into two teams and had a contest which
team could give out the most gospel tracts.
The losing team has to serve the winning team a spaghetti dinner.
My team lost and the cakes are the dessert.
Ken volunteered to help so I have to make the dessert. 😁
I don't mind baking them though.
It is always fun to lick the spoon and beaters.

 We also got in a new supply of ice cream that was on sale.
Picked up a vanilla so I can have it with the cobbler later.

This afternoon I spent outside working on clearing and fence building.

Also scraped as much of the paint off of the stand of shelves
as I could and sanded them.
Going to paint them blue but thought I'd do that tomorrow.

Plan on putting my collection of white planters on the shelves.

Just before supper I sewed the squares that I made yesterday together
and had enough to sew another strip on the yellow gingham bedspread.
Now have 7 strips out of 24 done.
Each strip has 24 squares.

That's been my day.

Hope you made your day a happy one.

Lisa - Yes,the rhubarb leaves are poisonous.  They have high levels of oxalic acid which can cause kidney damage.  But you would have to eat 10 lbs of the leaves to die.  Small amounts can make you sick though. 

William - I think rhubarb is one of those foods that you either love or hate.  Ken doesn't like it either so that means I get to eat the whole thing.
