Granny's gone and done it again

So, I was out communing with the poultry, while filling waterers, water bowls, and wading pools. My lightest colored duck hen came over, and started splashing in the pool, getting me drenched. I look her in the eye, and say, "You're getting me wet, and I don't like it."

Being a polite little lady, she says, "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to get you wet!"

She sits there, scratches her little round head a couple times, then asks, "What is wet?"

I sez, "Wet is when there is water soaking into my clothes, and running down my leg."

She says, "You don't like WATER?!?!?"

She waddled off, scandalized, to tell her sisters what I had said. All five of them are out there gabbling about their crazy human pet right now. As usual, the drakes don't have much to say . . .

Kelsey you have never had the kind of peas I'm talking about. They are nothing like the round green English cool weather peas. Mine are from the bean family and came to America long ago along with okra and watermelon.... From Africa.

Ohhhhhhhhh. They sound like they might be good then!!!

Ewwwwwwwwwwww

I lived but we do not season our peas with hog jowl like our parents and grand parents did for many generations.

Kelsey the younger generation probably has never heard the saying that when a hog was butchered during the Great Depression that everything was used but the squeal.

Home grown peas are the best, but if I'm bringing any home from the store, I really like those field peas and snaps. I don't know how available they are around the country. Our local grocer sells a store brand that are very near delicious.

My favorite of the cowpea family are purple hulled peas, which are usually a creamy white, or the pink purple hulled peas, which, as the name implies, are pink.

Those are good eating!

Yup. Pink Eye Purple Hulls. I have a pound of seed that I may yet plant a row of. With arthritis in your hands the easier to shell Zipper Cream peas are widely used. We also pick a few snaps to go with what we shell. In about a half hour we are off line shelling today's peas that we picked in 98° heat and a heat advisory. Either we are stupid old folks or just tough.

And welcome to Granny's thread here if you have not been already been so welcomed.

Peeps I'll be back before I go to bed. Going out now to close the coop doors for the night and start shelling. We are eating good now and will do so at least until we start planting next year.
