Burt, I hatched 2 grand-peas this year. A lovely boy and girl, and they're going to be as stunning as their parents. I wish I could gab at you over the phone about it.
My big guy is about to turn 5 and he's just amazing...it breaks my heart that I'm in a position where they must go live elsewhere. I can't keep them safe and give them the space they need with the predation around, and they need to be freer than they are. I'm hoping for offspring down the line.
I know you see all this and would talk me through it in a pragmatic way...putting up with my blubbering. I guess I have to let that be enough.
Fall makes me think of you walking me through my first winter with peas, and it's that time of year. Miss you.
