A piece of driftwood that had perfect hair so I decided to carve a wood spirit out of it. Half of the hair was already there and I added the other half and all the rest. Mother Nature sure does give me some great gifts to bring to life. Going to add this to a birdhouse soon and will be for sale at the Maple Valley Farmers Market.

Rachael’s Recipe Review- Old Fashioned Rhubarb Coffee Cake,By theseoldcookbooks and it is amazing! 💖First thing I realized when searching for Rhubarb recipes is that I’m definitely not utilizing my Rhubarb to the fullest of its capabilities! 🤔There are so many options and I know most people are intimated by Rhubarb…it’s really pretty simple to use. You prep it similar to celery and then 💥 it’s ready to go for all of your recipes! This recipe by Barbara is easy for beginners, so moist and I had family who responded “There’s rhubarb in this”?! 📝Few notes, this cake is at its best hot and warm right out of the oven(you can reheat leftover cake whole or microwave a slice for about 10 seconds) and I’d probably add a cup more Rhubarb, but that’s just me. Overall, great cake, dense, but springy and not a heavy texture and not overly sweet! 🌿Rhubarb tends to come into season here in Seattle towards mid May and you can pick it up at local farms, Farmers Markets, farm stands, or grow it yourself it’s super easy! (though beware the leaves are poisonous so don’t eat them, just the root staulk is edible). If you’re local try foleysproduce carpinitobros mosbyfarms maplevalleyfarmersmarket knutsonfarmsinc Are you team Rhubarb, would you bake with it? Let me know in the comments, I’m curious what you’all think about this unusual vegetable?!#rhubarb #baker #pastrychef #rachaelsrecipereview #pastrychef #seattlebaker #spring #vegetables #homegardener #backyardgarden #urbangardening #outside #rhubarbseason #shoplocalseattle #farmstand #maplevalleyfarmersmarket #garden #seattlegarden #springgarden #springgardening #theseoldcookbooks *You can find the full recipe on These Old Cookbooks official website

We’re at the Maple Valley Farmers' Market today!
9am to 2pm
We’re starting out a little chilly, but it’s going to be perfect weather for strolling around on this last weekend of summer - and this market is a great place for your stroll! Pick up fresh produce, beautiful flowers, find the perfect jewelry to go with that outfit or give as a gift, try some of the wonderful baked goods, grab some lunch, enjoy the live music (starting at 11)…
…and coffee…don’t forget the coffee - a cup to sip on while you walk, a bag of beans (fresher than anything you’ll find at the store) to take home
We have new vendors today! Go by and say hi to enumclawfarm . They are such nice people, and they have an item I’ve never seen carried by anyone else, but I’ve been curious to try for a while. I’m not going to tell you what it is though…🤭
See you at the market! #coffee #espresso #coldbrew #fallvibes #maplevalleyfarmersmarket #shoplocal #smallbusiness
