More weather misfires

The storms passed by on both sides of us again. We didn't even get much rain. I'm not complaining, really, though the horses may eventually object to being put in early all the time.

Made a pie today with rhubarb, peaches, and some frozen black raspberries from last year. Turned out pretty good, though it looks rather, umm, bloody.

Then we watched National Treasure because a friend recommended it and lent us his DVD. *shrugs* There was a good idea in there somewhere, but they made the whole thing so hokey that all I wanted to do was groan from beginning to end. The fabled treasure of the Templars has been overdone for a long time, since well before Dan Brown and The Davinci Code. I prefer Steve Berry's version, actually (The Templar Legacy) where the treasure turns out to consist of books and manuscripts, most of which have crumbled to dust by the time the puzzle is finally solved. Of course, Berry had it hidden in Spain, while I find the Scottish theory much more plausible...
