No little man in here

Don't worry. This isn't another Korkowski Kontest to see how long it takes you to find the little man in the picture. These are today's choppings from an afternoon in the rhubarb pits, as we ready another batch of jam. The tart pile steeps overnight and tomorrow it will mellow and sweeten in a boiling pot before being poured off, cooled and delivered. (If you can't read the recipe on the card below, you can email Kathleen, as Bev Korkowski did. She was so inspired by the idea she is making "Sandy's Rhubarb Jam" as we speak.)
We watched "Henry Poole Is Here" this evening. It's a feel-good movie about an image of Jesus that appears in a stain on the stucco on a dying man's house and a sort of miracle happens. Or not.
So now, after the movie, we review our rhubarb picture. Please scroll up and look closely in the upper left corner. Honest now. Doesn't that one particular piece look just a bit like Our Blessed Mother?
