The garden called bright and early. We headed to the garden and worked for a few hours in the lovely 80-degree sunshine. Mary picked the last of the peas.
Interesting Facts about Peas: Janet Harris of Sussex holds the world record for eating peas, having eaten 7175 peas one by one in 60 minutes using chopsticks in 1984! Thick London fogs of the 19th and 20th centuries were dubbed ‘pea-soupers’ because of their density and green tinge.

The straw mulch needs to be removed and stacked for later use. The beds will then be cleaned, rototilled, and replanted for the summer season!
We must turn this over within a week so we can plant tomatoes.
Thank goodness Ralph’s bags are perfect for delivering freshly picked veggies—fresh means they still have dirt on them!
We filled several bags with goodies and then sent them to the neighbors.
Just two more plants to go, and then we’ll be shelling them so long that by the end of the afternoon, we might as well start a support group for people who’ve lost their shelling sanity! Who knew gardening could turn into a full-time job for my fingers?
Even Carlos got to pick peas today!
We watched Resident Alien all afternoon. I prepared lunch with my trusty assistant. Mary fixed the peas and potatoes while I fixed up two nice looking steaks!
Yummy!
During the remaining afternoon, we got ready to go to the Elks to see Larry Fresch. We arrived at 5:15 p.m. and walked in with Vicky and Jim!
Larry Fresch plays tonight.
The music was great, and we had a light dinner because of our steaks! I had the Hobo Steak and took most of it home. Mary just had the house salad, which is a meal in itself.
I pulled out my trusty camera and asked the girl to “Show me your tooth.” Mary took it literally.
“Show me your tooth!”
We danced several dances, and drank some wine. And departed around 8:30 pm.
Get a room!
We met up with Brenda and Gail.
Ladies, time to dance!
We were tired from working in the garden and departed a little early.
