I spotted two pea pods today! The plants are blooming like crazy and I have been wondering if they needed bees to pollinate, but I guess not! Maybe the breeze that comes in through the vents is enough or maybe they don't need anything to produce!
We took the bed apart again and put the metal base under it. Just like John thought, it's too high with the wheels under it. I sure wish they'd gotten my order right and brought me the skinny foundation! The only reason I got the foundation and didn't keep the one we had was because he told me he'd get me the skinny ones. Guess I should have told them to take them back and bring the right ones, but it was late, they showed up after dark, and the old bed was taken out of the house already and I was tired. I should have called the next day and told them I wanted them to get the narrow ones!
On the way to Bashas I saw a Forsythia bush in bloom!
