Sweet Sweet Peas

As soon as I hit the 'publish post' button on the Sweet Peas posting, I went to the kitchen to fix lunch for Richard and me. The weather is gorgeous so we sat on the patio to enjoy our meal.

"What are we going to do with those peas and carrots?" Richard asked me.
After I finished gagging on my sandwich, I answered, "I just posted a blog about them."
After Richard practically spit out his sandwich, he answered, "Throw them out."
"Fine with me," I laughed.
"If we throw them out, it all ends up in the same place anyway. We only bypass the eating step," said Richard in his infinite wisdom.
"I'm with you. Let's throw them out."
Richard thought about it for a minute. "No, we shouldn't waste a whole dollar. Let's pick out the peas."
"You pick out the peas. That's disgusting."
"All right I will." He went to the kitchen to look for the bag of peas. He spread them on the counter. "You do this. I'll clean up the lunch dishes if you separate out all the peas." He knows I hate to do dishes. He got two bowls from the cupboard and set me to work.
Peas to the right. Corn and carrots to the left.

"If you miss a few, it won't kill us," he yelled from the living room.
"If they won't kill us, why am I picking them out?" I yelled back.
"To save a dollar," he answered.
A pea saved is a penny earned.
