Magic Peas

Planted on St. Patrick's day, I've been impatient for peas. in the past few days I have been rewarded with lovely white flowers that look like ladies in white bonnets glancing shyly over their shoulders. I can just imagine how pleased they must be to see a gentleman bee come a courtin'.

In the evening, when the light hits a pea pod in just the right way, it glows. I shall always think of peas as being magic because of this beautiful trick of the light.
