July 17-July 18 - Lil' Pea Pickers

For the next three weeks the Pogue family, Riley Tatum, and another family, the Gillilands, will be picking black-eyed peas for a local farmer. This week God has blessed us with wonderfully cool weather and some rain.   

The day before we started picking we all went out in the field to do some weeding. 

The van got stuck in the mud. The rain was well needed so it was nice to actually work in the mud. even if it means getting a Fifteen passenger van out of the mud. Good thing we had those weeds, right?

We got rather muddy, but that is one of the first memories we will have for this summer's project so it was okay.

Our first day's work. Five of those bags make a bushel. 

There you have it. More posts on this subject guaranteed.
