Saturday-gardening and a visit from Mother
Mother Pea: You know MALIA ALTA?Me: Oh, uh huh.
Mother Pea: She is a woman on tv. She makes really pretty things. She makes homemade stuff and has products to sell in stores.
Me: You mean MARTHA STEWART?!!!!
Mother Pea: Ahhh yeah, Marta Stewahh.

All my peas have germinated and everyday I check to make sure they are rabbit-free. I was so proud.
Until my Mother came over and told me I planted my peas all wrong. Here she is relocating them and teaching me how to make "hills". She only did half in case the root disturbance would kill them.
Just for fun, I took a video. She was showing me how to go from the back to the front and allowing water to trickle from top to bottom. She also told me to plant them in alternating rows and not in a straight line. You will hear alot of "uh hum"ing from me. That's basically all the conversing my mom and I do. She talks while I uh hum.
My little brothers were "golfing" which consisted of them swinging, missing the ball, digging up a patch of grass and hitting the neighbors fence. Uhh yeah stop that!
If that wasn't enough, they took out Keith's archery set and were having target practice. Uhh guys, point it the other way please. They are real characters. I love my brothers. I was so happy they came to see me. It was just what I needed. I miss them so much!
My Mother thought my garden bed looked like "two cemetary plots" and told my brother to smooth it back out and sprinkle grass seed to regrow the grass. After all that work!!! Are you *%$@*ing kidding me!!!
And then she proceeded to make a "new" garden along the fence using my pretty blue ribbon.
I dug all this up in about 2 hours. It's about 23 feet long. She had some valid points. She said this way, it's easier to water, but most of all that I can tend to the garden more easily. My square garden bed was too obtrusive aka. UGLY.
While I was digging, I found a robin's egg. Neato. It was so teeny tiny.
My ring got jealous that I was paying so much attention to the egg shell. So I took pictures of the egg shell posing with my ring. Okay, you pulled my leg.
My mom cooked 3 times for us! There was enough food for a week!
My 13 year old brother got the tall skinny gene. He's even taller than Keith. Yes, my pink weddingbee shirt is officially my new "house shirt".
Have a great weekend!
