The girls and I went shopping one afternoon. After we got home I wanted to make room in the freezer compartment of the refrigerator for some of the frozen things we had bought. There was a full bag of peas on the shelf. I got it to put it the freezer door, and that was the moment when I discovered it was not a full bag of peas. Peas went flying in a sweeping arc across the kitchen, and into the two adjacent rooms. I stood there, momentarily speechless as I tried to come to grips with what had just happened.
Meanwhile the girls burst out laughing, while dashing off to grab a camera to properly document another one of Mom's messes.
Rosie Mae has been sick. Yesterday the only thing she wanted was a cup of tea. A storm had passed through our area the previous night knocking out our power. I had to get creative as I tried to figure out a way to make some tea. This little candle setup took a while to heat the water, but it worked!
I thought the ice formations by the waterfall this morning were pretty.
The calm after the storm is such a delight. The wind sounded like a zoo full of howling monkeys on Thurs. and Fri.
ReplyDeleteI hope your daughter is on the mend.
Frozen peas just love their freedom!
ReplyDeletegood innovation
ReplyDeletefor water heating!
The same thing happened to me once with a bag of frozen home grown peas ... what a waste. But funny too. You´ll keep finding peas in hidden corners for a while :))
ReplyDeleteMust admit to smiling about the peas, it will be the same scenario as glitter, always and forever. Impressive way to heat water.
ReplyDeleteThe pea mess sounds like something I would do! My husband always tells me I move too fast.
ReplyDeleteBeen there, done that. And yes, it's always peas for some reason.
ReplyDeleteI love that your girls burst out laughing and then grabbed the camera! Perfect! Those ice formations are so pretty. Have a good week!

Please pass the peas...Ha Ha!! That was a great story...I know, I shouldn't laugh at your predicament, but I can just picture it...and I've been there too! Your candle hot water heater is pretty ingenious. Glad it worked, but I can imagine it took a while. I do hope your daughter is on the mend and feeling better now. Love the picture of the ice on the waterfall...that is beautiful. have a blessed and beautiful day...
ReplyDeleteOh, I totally understand the mess peas made. I opened my frig and moved something and a whole bowl of leftover peas fell out and the lid popped off...My daycare kids and I had a great laugh about it, but what a mess to sweep up those rolling peas...ha ha! Hope Rosie is feeling better by now. There is a lot of nasty bugs out there this year. Wendy
