Fresh Peas

We were just working out in the pea patch. I love fresh peas.

   Sometimes when Uncle Wayne used to visit Mom would give us a paper bag and send us to the pea patch. We would pick the peas and then he would eat the little ones and I would eat the big ones. Then we would take the empty bag back to the house.

Uncle Wayne and I twenty years ago

   Just this week I got a text message from Uncle Wayne it said, "Eating peas in the garden." And today when I was out in the pea patch I messaged him. You can tell he wasn't here because there were peas left to take into the house.
