Pea Picking

Last night Ed came home and asked, "How would you like to pick some peas?" "What?" I asked. Yep. Jimmie called and said he has lots of peas. Well, That's what we did this afternoon. We gathered some of the kids including Becca's friend Brian and off we went; pea picking (very natural not sprayed!). We had fun. I now have a lot of respect for the people who have to do this all the time. ~smile~

Anyway, we came home with a few buckets of peas, broccoli, and a huge carpenter's bucket of eggplant. ~LOL~

Yes, Jimmie also had some of the other vegetables there for us. I will now be freezing these. I also found out that I can freeze eggplant, which I did not know. So, tomorrow afternoon I should be busy in the kitchen.

Tom said that when he is older, he would love to be able to do this, plant crops, harvest, etc. But he said this would be on the side after his "regular" job. I had to smile at that. Jimmie is an excellent teacher for this. I now have to start finding some books and experiments, etc. for Tom.
