Chuck and I were down at the barn one morning and when we came back up to the TT, there was a huge bag of veggies sitting on the kitchen table. The BNOE's father grows a big garden every year and it supplies the family and friends with lots of fresh veggies all summer long. Charlotte sent Owen over with a big bag for us and when we weren't home, he just went in and put it on the table. What a nice surprise to come back to the TT, too. This time we were able to enjoy fresh corn, squash, egg plant and " zipper peas". I had never even heard of zipper peas but what fun they were to shell. I spent part of the morning, on the porch in the rocking chair, just unzipping peas. They don't really taste like " peas" but more like beans. When it was time to leave at the end of the week, we were loaded up with another big bag of veggies. This time, to take to Gene and George's. There was a big bag of okra in this batch and Gene, fried it for dinner one night. Now, I'm not a big fan of okra but dang....this was good and I ate two helpings. Just might have to grow some okra in the garden one summer. When we have our summer gardens, we plan on sharing with all the neighbors, as they do with us.
