"Let's be cheerful"! We have no more right to steal the brightness out of the day for our own family than we have to steal the purse of a stranger. Let us be as careful that our homes are furnished with pleasant & happy thoughts as we are that the rugs are the right color and texture & the furniture comfortable and beautiful"!

green beans


My day in green beans pictures.




















Final count ~ 16- 3/4 lb. bags of blanched frozen beans.  And 9 quarts of my personal favorite... Dilly beans! It's definitely a start.

Blessings, Debbie

    Reminds me of when I was a little girl and snipped all the beans for my grandmother.

    Green beans have always been one of my favorites and we did not plant them this year since we were just starting. You get to enjoy them all year now because of your hard labor!

    Chuckling - I *know* this Day in Beans. Could be the name of a harvest festival. I've just been blanching and freezing my yellow beans. Never tried dilly beans, but you've got me intrigued.

    (I also enjoyed seeing the chickens running around doing their thing. ;-)

    Oh your beans look wonderful. Alas I have very few, my scarecrow did not work as planned and the blackbirds apparently love my beans. B

    I have a serious case of green bean envy. The deer ate all but one small bush of mine. Those dilly beans look wonderful!

    Nice looking beans! That will be what I will be doing very soon as my beans are almost there.
    Do you use the recipe for Dilly Beans from - "Putting Food By" ? xo

    So nice, I always enjoy doing green beans. The kids always help and it is so nice to sit around the table and talk while we snap beans.
    It all looks so pretty.

    Very nice! I froze mine this year, but next year I would like to can them.

    It's fun to see you and your girls working together! That's what we do here too!

    Those are some nice looking beans! I'm all done canning mine for this year, and though I didn't get nearly as many as last year, I'm still glad for the jars I have!

    I don't know what dilly beans are. Do you add other seasonings to them?

    I love green beans, and yours look yummy! I enjoyed the photos of your canned beans, and the bags ready for the freezer. I bought some green beans at the farmer's market this weekend, and will be having them with our dinner tonight! Can't wait!

    Have a great day today! :)

    Okay, I'm inspired. Green beans need to be planted...in only I could figure out where the seeds went to.
