Rhubarb Bread

It's rhubarb season!  Yay!!!  I harvested the first of our rhubarb the other day and couldn't wait to bake up something delicious with it.   I had just had rhubarb bread for the first time last weekend at my grandma's house and it was amazing.  This was my first time making it, but it won't be my last!
