Rhubarb/Asparagus
quick healthy asparagus soup
ASPARAGUS SOUP  
Toss together in a medium pot. 1 pound of asparagus cut into small pieces, 1 medium onion chopped, 1 cup celery, 2 TBS butter, and 4 cups of vegetable broth ( or chicken broth), salt and pepper, add a pinch of ground nutmeg. Let this simmer until asparagus is tender. Use a blender or immersion blender to process smooth. You can add a bit of cream if you like. Now you have one healthy breakfast, lunch or dinner.



RHUBARB PIE 
One thing I love about this pie is that it is fast. When my son came home he whipped up a pie crust in such little time, I had to praise him and then copy him. I found out it was Meg's recipe.
For the yummy inside just cut up rhubarb, add 1/2 cup sugar, 2TBS maple syrup, 2 TBS of quick cook tapioca or 1/4 cup flour. Mix this together and pour into bottom pie crust. Top with 2 TBS butter broken into bits and sprinkled on top. Put on the top crust and say thank you when you get the compliments.

Guess the Blossom Game
Yes, it's a game. Yes it's a learning game. And yes it is one of the most beautiful times of the year on the farm. See how well you do. Answers are on the bottom. What blossom do you like best? Does it connect with how you much you like the fruit?  Have fun..
