Random 5 Friday


1.  Harvesting Now:  We picked the first of our drying beans earlier this week.  This peck basket yielded 5 Cups of dried beans.  If canned, these will produce roughly 5 quarts of beans!  These are our lazy housewife green beans left to dry.  They are duel purpose and make the most wonderful drying beans.  Best yet... this was only 1/3 of one of our two rows of these beans, and the part that was a bit more stunted because it was partially shaded!

2.  Compass:  Thanks to Uma who posted the Native American Code of Ethics on her blog earlier this week.  Truly words and actions to live by, that calmed my spirit.

3.  Eating:  This week began October #Unprocessed, a great exercise, and not to late to join in!


4.  Light:  The fall light completes me.


5.  Soul:    So does ^^ this guy.

  4. I love the woman/old fool and growing old together. I think my husband and I are on our way to this....we've been married 45 years now.

    I'm new to Random 5 this week, and thought I'd try and get the gist of it all by paying you a visit!! Happy weekend.

  9. As I grew up, we would pick green beans, break off the ends and with a threaded crochet needle, would string them and hang them to dry. When they got totally dry, pulled the string out and put in a bag...that was yummy eating.

    You can see some ready to hang up here:
