Welcomed Visiters

Thursday Carrel and I went outside of McGee and bought  two bushels or more of peas.  They were shelled and he had a bucket of about one gallon of figs.  I ask how much did he want for the figs he said nothing I could have them.  I told him no it was too hot to pick them to give away, so I paid him, not enough, but I paid him.  WE put the peas in the freezer, we had twenty four bags.   Carrel and I washed the peas, I bring a pot of water to a boil pour my peas in and bring them to a boil. I boil them for three minutes. Put a lid on the pot place it in the sink and pour ice over them.  I have two pots going at one time.  I cool water and peas.  I put three cups of peas in a quart bag cover with water, I do not loose my vitamins this way.  Friday morning I put up fig preserves,  nine pints.  While I was cooking lunch Charlotte, Bridget and her two little ones came.  They brought my birthday present.  This was from all of them Charlotte and Don, daughter and husband.  Paxton and Courtney, grandson and his wife.  Jacquie and GB granddaughter and husband.  Bridget and Trinity, granddaughter and husband.  This is my great granddaughter Rose, everyone except calls her Kennedy.  Little Miss Mischief was trying to get her brother, Ace wet.  I told Carrel she might enjoy the water hose and she did.

I hope you have enjoyed reading about my visit with my daughter Charlotte, Granddaughter Bridget and great grandchildren Ace and Rose.  Thank you for watching my garden grow and bloom, and you will grow one of your own.  Happy gardening to you from us,Juanita and Carrel.
