Celebrate our country!
It's that time of year. Peas! Dad and Moma raised their family on farm fresh peas. We have all raised our families on...peas! They grow well down here in the south. The deer like them as much as we do and lately the coons like them. This was the first pick of the girls garden. We stayed up, shelled peas, watched a good movie and had a good time.
The pile just wouldn't go away. My peas shellers were getting really purple. (These are purple hulls, our favorite pea.) There were six shellers shelling as fast as we could.... while watching a good movie!!
Finally, the shelling came to an end.
It doesn't matter how many cups we put in a bag, we will eat them all! Dad used to tell us when we were kids that peas would make our blue eyes bluer! (They will also add inches onto your bod if you over indulge!)
Pea shells! It makes good compost material, thats about all its good for.
A little color outside in the heat!
America. Freedom. Celebrate, and give thanks!
Blessings to you from my American pasture!
