Sheep and Rhubarb...jam?

Yesterday afternoon I took the kids out to Gmaw Sandy's to get some fresh eggs and take some pictures of her sheep. They were sheared a few weeks ago and she wanted some pictures of them without their wool coats to print and show at events when she's dying, spinning, and selling wool and yarn. We went out around 4pm so I think it was probably the worst possible light, but I took a few pictures anyway. I will have to go back a little later (or early) in the day to get some better pictures next week sometime.



Today I made some Rhubarb stuff (jelly? jam? spread? IDK) out of the rhubarb stalks Gmaw gave me yesterday. She asked if I liked it and honestly I don't know so she gave me some since it needed to be picked and told me how to prepare it. Cut up into small pieces, add some water and sugar (lots) to boil in a saucepan until really soft and mushy. She says she loves it spread on toast. So in the morning I will try it. To be honest, it really doesn't look or smell that appetizing. But I'll give it a try for Gmaw :) LOL
