When I wrote the first entry for this blog, and I mentioned wanting my boys to experience shelling peas on a porch in the afternoon, I never really thought it would happen. Well, yesterday, it happened.
We picked up our box from the CSA, and in it was a bag of English peas, still in their pods. I showed Zach how to crack them open and pull the fat round peas out. He loves peas, so he was pretty excited. These peas were so sweet that the two of us sat there and shelled them and ate them raw. It was a very nostalgic moment. I remember doing that with my grandmother one day when I was very little, and now Zach's done it with me. The only thing missing was the screened porch and the rocking chairs.
