If a writer of mysteries (me) ever needed a mysterious atmosphere in which to write a mystery, that dark, dangerous, scary time is now!

Rain falls this morning. Oklahoma had more rain last night. So did Arkansas. It must be that rhubarb is ripe now. I’ve been seeing rhubarb recipes on the web. Mom used to make yummy rhubarb pies.
