I've been advised that some people do read this!  So Maybe I will start posting...the long absence is mostly due to just plain o'l being "run-down".  Nothing major just annoying and boring.

Picked a big bowl of green beans tonight.  They are almost spent...but we got at least 15 - 20 quarts worth this year.  (our first year!).  Lots of them were given away and some froze or just eaten fresh.  Looks like we will be having a late dinner tonight of potatoes and green beans! 

The grape vine was not as generous this year.  Mostly due to the birds who feasted all summer long on them.  Next year we will have a net!

So getting some of my energy back...thanks to big pharma...(sometimes it is needed). 

My talented step-son got hurt playing football last weekend.  And Today is his birthday.  Sports are his life so he is pretty bummed.  But should be ok to do track in the spring.
