Kid Quotes

After explaining the baby bunnies
were "periscoping" when they sat
on their back legs and raised themselves up,
they all quit doing it.
3 1/2 year old Gracie.....
"Grandma, why did all the bunnies quit spyglassing?

Heirloom Peas

One of the things I like to play around with, is saving
 seed from this years garden to plant in next years garden.
I planted a short row of heirloom peas
just for the seed this year.
I think every one of my adult kids came in with a handful
of fresh picked peas and said,
"Mom you forgot to pick your peas."
~geesh~

It is never hard to find someone to help
shuck the seed out when they are dry......
Kids and adults love the job :-)

Well dried and then stored in a ziplock bag
down in the cool basement.
Next year.....you can pick my peas for me kids!
