~ Cheese, Rhubarb, Laundry, and Raspberries ~

Today I am hosting a cheese making class for the ladies in my milk co-op. My friend Pam will be instructing us on the finer points of cheese making. She said we will make Colby, Cheddar, Mozarella, and Cottage cheeses. Sound wonderful? It really should be so fun.

The rhubarb is ready for its first picking! Any recipe ideas? I've heard that rhubarb juice is wonderful so we will try some. If we like it, I'll make some concentrate and freeze it up. Then we can have a taste of summer during the dark days of winter!

My goodness, I had a mountain of laundry to do this weekend. I'm so thankful to have it about wrapped up. Should finish it up this evening after the cheese class. Then, the house is in pretty good order. I'll start on the kitchen cabinets next:-)

And my dear man and Cam started a new raspberry patch. My goodness, it looks great! We have 46 new red raspberries, and 23 goldens. Apparently we could have had more red ones from our little patch and my neighbor gave us the goldens and said she has more, too. We'll be raspberry wealthy! I'm sure the moose will love the new bushes!

Think that's about it. I'm going to go do my bible study. God has just been so gracious to us. I want to get my walk squared away this week. Friday and Saturday were some of the worst days we've endured in a very long time. But the good news is that we were able to look to God and see Him working all through the day.

Have a super blessed day.

I too wish I lived closer - a cheese-making class sounds like alot of fun! I use our rhubarb for bread, jam (with strawberries), in a crisp, etc. Yummy! I also freeze to use later. Sounds like you will have lots of raspberries too - good for you!!
