And then he brought out some homemade rhubarb crisp and strawberry shortcake ( made with homegrown rhubarb and strawberries ) , and some soda pop . He apologized and said that was all we got when we got there on such short notice . We told him it was great , and more than we were expecting ! I ended up helping to paint his front stairs , and he pulled up a lawn chair to sit in the shade of the tree in the frontyard , and we got to chatting .
