The challenge this month is spring. Here are my photo interpretations of the month of May.
To begin I will refer you to a previous post a poem: The Sound of Spring Has Come to My Garden.
https://lightwalker1.wordpress.com/2015/01/18/the-sound-of-spring-has-come-to-my-garden/
Apple blossoms bloom bring about thoughts of fall fruit and pie
Hardening off tender plants in preparation for their days in the garden sun
Rhubarb leaves – poisonous, but the fruit is delicious
Rhubarb ready for tarts
The taste of Spring, flavour ready to eat
However you enjoy it, Spring wakes up our eyes, taste buds and imagination of good things to come.

Rhubarb leaves are poisonous?! I had no idea…
The tarts look delicious!
I, too, dream of all the things I’ll be making when I see the blooms and tiny fruits on the trees.

Thank you for stopping by and saying such kind things. The tarts were delish!. It is so odd how the leaves are toxic but the stalks are so yummy!. This morning I saw a teeny tiny pear and can’t wait for it to grow. In love and light Cheryle

I have a bunch of fresh and cooked (into syrup) rhubarb in my kitchen at the moment. I’m going to cook the fresh too because I made the first batch of syrup too sweet for my taste. I like the tartness!

Thanks for checking out my post. The lemon cuts the sweetness and smooths out the tartness.

I did not know that Rhubarb leaves are poisonous. Thanks for that tip!

Thank you for stopping by and checking out the post. Yes, the leaves contain oxilic (?) acid. They can be made into a tea and used as a natural pesticide.

I was going to say that my favorite is the Rhubarb growing but then saw the tarts and forgot everything I was going to say. WOW they look AMAZING!!!!!

Thank you for the lovey comment. Yes, they were delicious. I no longer make my own pastry – it takes forever – I purchase frozen tart shells. So easy I make tarts so much more often. In love and light Cheryle

However you enjoy it, Spring wakes up our eyes, taste buds and imagination of good things to come. I believe you summed up Spring perfectly with your observation! Hope your apple trees bear lots of pies….I mean fruit! 🙂

We grow rhubarb as well. I always remember that old ladies in Agatha Christie novels seem to use the leaves as a murder weapon!

Thanks for stopping by. Yes, tea made with the leaves should not be ingested. I guess that is why they make such a good pesticide. I don’t think it is selective though, so any beneficial bugs that nibble it will die too. 😦

How Diabolical. What a mind Agatha had

You definitely captured spring. And I think you should share those tarts with the rest of us in the challenge! 😉

Funny…I just mentioned to our oldest son yesterday that I should think about harvesting the rhubarb soon. I’m thinking a rhubarb pie baking session might be just the thing this weekend! Great set of springtime photos and thanks for sharing “the sound of spring has come to my garden.”
