Roadside Rhubarb

Year after year a sign goes up on King's Settlement Road on my way to work in Norwich.  I only got a glimpse of the farmer once as I was flying by, and it was a little old lady who moved rather slowly.  I admire her spirit in trying to hustle a buck for the farm, something I am familiar with.  I can't stand the thought of her making her way down the lane to the can to find it empty soooooooo....guess who has a boxcar load of rhubarb?  Yes, I'm planning on making strawberry rhubarb pies with my students tomorrow, then rhubarb preserves for myself.  Scandies are crazy about rhubarb.  Manna from heaven...
