We had fun "rummaging" as they say in New Holstein yesterday as the Annual New Holstein Rummage Sale weekend occurred. Cold and rainy on Friday, but just cold on Saturday. We got some good buys, but can't add any pictures until we get the prognosis on our broken camera and/or purchase another. Any suggestions? We also hiked at Ledge View Nature Center-the Annual Mothers' Day event. Nice guide named Ron told us all about the wildflowers at the park. Sunny day finally. We harvested the rhubarb from the back yard in NH and made a really really good pie! Dad made a big pot of pork green chili for burritos. Oh, forgot-we had a Friday night fish fry at Badger Creek Golf Course just up the hill from our house...good perch.
Saturday afternoon we also went to the Fiber Art Day at a local farm. They had weavers, and spinners, jewelry makers, sheep, lamb, etc. food, and demonstrations, and wild asparagus hunting along the RR tracks south of New Holstein. We found about a pound, even though someone else beat us to the spot earlier. We are having a cook out tonight with steak, fresh asparagus, red potatoes, salad, and rhubarb pie.
It was nice to talk to my mother today in Iowa-she will be 90 years old in June. And, wonderful to be a mother today of four grown up and great daughters: Emily in Colorado Springs, Haley in Marquette, Michigan , Jana in Mobile, Alabama and the Gulf on the Coast Guard Cutter Cypress (cleaning up the oil spill) and Jesse in Athens, Ohio.
