Its a dim memory now, but much of July
and the first part of August was spent in the pea patch!
Beau was Pappy's constant companion
in the pea patch and at the sheller!
With the peas picked and waiting in buckets and baskets
it was time for the easy and fun part...
Sitting in the shade, shelling those peas.
This is the part of getting peas to the table, historically,
that families shared in the shade hasn't changed.
It just goes much faster with the automatic pea sheller!
Even with the drought, we were fortunate enough
to have plenty of peas for family and friends.
We even sold enough peas to get started
on having a pea patch next year!
