Pickin' Peas (Strawberries too!) and Trimmin' Trees

This afternoon our CSA farm hosted a pea pick, so the kids and I went out to pick (and eat!) bunches of sugar snap peas.  Yummy!  Today was gorgeous, as you can see, as was the valley farm field.  Everyone really got into the picking, and we also got to scavenge through the adjacent strawberry field to bring home bunches of end-of-season berries.

   

Meanwhile, back on the home front, Bill stayed home to give our trees a much-needed haircut.  The pile of pruned branches out front from his afternoon's work is taller than I am.  However, a wayward branch knocked him off the ladder at one point and he got  a concussion from his head hitting the ground--hard.  He and I made a quick trip to the E.R. this evening for a catscan, which thankfully showed that everything is okay.

While searching for the patron saint of head injuries (Blessed John Licci, 1400s), I came across this fun website that lists all the patron saints of absolutely anything you can imagine.
