The only time I can remember seeing Mom in pants was to work in the garden where she planted flowers and had a small patch of lawn. We also had a crab apple tree and almond tree in the front yard and a nectarine tree off the back porch where Mom hung out laundry on a clothes line. There was an artichoke plant and loads of tall anise weeds in the back where we'd play hide and seek, but I don't remember eating any artichoke. She'd make nectarine upside down cakes and we got used to picking out the ants as we went along. She canned too and we'd listen and count as the jars sealed.
