Good evenin Family
I hate havin to be MIA again but started out yesterday tryin to play beat the clock (tryin to get a crop of green beans yet this year to can), dug all my taders out, 4 wagon loads of them (I'll put pic's on later or tomorrow when I fully recover) it was a cooker but temp dropped to 96 so I stupidly went for it. This mornin I started diggin the area, planted beans and fenced it all in. I think I am just gonna curl up in a corner and take a snooze. Two full days with a pitch fork, yup, gonna pay for this tomorrow

I sure did miss everyone here and playin the game

but it had to be done. I always wondered just how many quarts of green beans we ate a year so I sorta figured it out, 2 years ago we canned 128 quarts, we ran out last winter/spring (I think it was about March) so I figure for a 12 month period aprox. 84 quarts.
I might be wrong on the figures.

I hope the day finds everyone in good health and was good to everyone
Happy Birthday, Bobby Gentry. July 27, 1942. Bobby is known for her hit single, "Ode to Billie Joe". Bobby was both singer and songwriter for that hit tune which she originally wrote to be sung by other artists. To save money, she sang the song herself on the demo, and the record company decided to just ad strings and release it as recorded. "Ode to Billie Joe" became a grammy nominated hit and number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for four weeks in 1967.
