i still had some beans to pick but i'm not sure now that they'll be any good with how much rain is in the forecast. yet i will cross those bridges when i get to them... some of the bean plants are still finishing up. the website for first frost dates puts us down for average on Oct 22nd, but...

rained much of the night and this morning, looks like chances most of the week. a good day to read some interesting articles and came across this one: https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20250923-the-3000-year-old-story-hidden-in-your-keyboard which i'm reading, but then i saw a reference in...

i know it is wonderful to get going on shelling beans. i've not had as much time in recent weeks as i would normally have but here or there i squeeze in a few because it really is my favorite time of the year. today i spent at least a whole hour (maybe two since time can go by so quickly)...

"Over your dead body huh...?" :)

it is great to see some beans grown out by someone who has better garden soil than i have and they look wonderful. :) [i think i'm "antman" since my e-mail does have anthive in it]

funny this time around too, but you did post this a few days ago... ;)

chances of rain for the next few days including shortly. we'll see how it goes... :) [just as i finished typing that and posted it it started to rain... ha!]

when the great diversion happened (when facebook arrived as a "thing") all sorts of people i knew disappeared...

oh, thanks for the information! :)

welcome to TEG from mid-Michigan. :) i'm glad to see such wonderful beans.

this morning Mom and i were talking (ok, pretty much whining about getting up early and having to pee) and then we both made a little whining and complaining noise of dismay at the same time which got us laughing. :)

raining here this morning.

me too, even if it is a seasonal hazzard... (halloween) and a pain to pick up and put back on (fran-ken-schteen - young frankenstein - wrench squeeks) and then to think about someone who would have a nickname like Squeeks, would that be a voice problem or shoes that need oiling (a la the...

yeah, the boy can play as can his companions. :)

we had a friend who's name was Joyful and we would sing "Joyful, Joyful we adore thee!" in the tune of Beethoven's Ninth...

"You look tired?!" "I just got up." "Did you sleep well?" "I dreamed I did." "What happened?" "I didn't dream long enough." "So you were worn out and overtired?" "Yes. Questions do that and also give me flat tires..." "Can I help?" "Yes." "How?" "We're making progress..." "." "()"

yes please! :)

there are certain beans here that are more troubled by it than others. my advice is to pick the dry bean pods as soon as they are ready and not leave them through wet spells. another approach is to only plant beans with close to the same maturity time in the same area so that you don't have...

the same place most of my day went, limboland, daydreamville, reading and writing and then some lunch and outside for a while to scrape the north garden. amazing how quick that can go when there aren't other plants to go around or in the way - a half hour or less and it was done.

my prep for bad weather amounts to making sure the propane refill is on-order if we are getting low and getting out the snow shovels and brush/scraper for the car windshield. oh, and if the power seems to be flickering i'll fill up an extra bucket of water to flush the toilets.
