'Tis the Season For.....

Wednesday Z., L, and B. helped me harvest some peas! This year I planted the edible pea pods since the other kind are so labor intensive. They had a great time... The pea vines are a tiny bit worse for the wear, but they will bounce back! Our weather has been so warm that they are producing lots of happy blossoms.

Lookee Grandma!!
Not a great photo but the only one I had of Z. proudly holding up her freshly harvested carrot. I was trying to keep them from harvesting the whole patch at once. They were thrilled beyond belief and squealed every time they pulled one up. It was hilarious... We washed them and cut them up and cooked them and put them in our chicken pot pie for dinner.

Since today's theme is peas, and Thursday was a rainy day here in Sunny AZ, it seemed fitting to cook up a large pot of split pea soup, with my sale ham....(more on that one later) and this will be ladled into jars and frozen for TL and I to enjoy later. (the teenagers draw the line at eating split pea soup!!)

YUM....

Miss Z's quote for the day, as reported by her mommy...."Mommy-we need to have a garden like Grandma because then we would NEVER have to go to the store. Grandma NEVER goes to the store except to buy clothes and stuff. That would be very good."

hahahahahahahaha---I wish sweet Z.
