While we were away....

....things were growing around here.

The crepe myrtle....
....the green beans....

....went from this....

to this!  At least TWICE!

 Yes, we have been preparing green beans for the freezer.  They will certainly taste very good later!

The week-end is here.  Do you have some good plans?  I am not sure that I will work with green beans on this week-end.  More about that on Monday.:-)

Thank you for reading.  I really appreciate  your comments.

    Good morning, Nellie,

    As you know, I'm not a green bean kinda gal but, in the middle of winter, I like to make Marion green beans and potato soup. She loves it! It's a meal from my childhood and even I will enjoy a small bowl if it has freshly preserved green beans in it!

    Thanks for sharing, Nellie. enjoy your weekend:)

    I always admire the diligence of people who take the time to clean and break green beans, whether they freeze them or can them. These will reward your work many times later on in the year!

    Since I know what your weekend will include, I'll just wish you a most happy time, and look forward to seeing your post about it! :-)

    They say that the green beans are healthier but we prefer the yellow ones. But this year it seems the stores and markets are full of green ones

    I love fresh green beans and since I didn't plant a vegetable garden this year I bought some from our grocery store yesterday. It's quite a big job processing the beans but you will really be glad you did when it comes time to eat them when the snow flies...

    Your Grape Myrtle tree looks so pretty.
    Have a great weekend.

    Sounds like you have been busy on several trips. Loved the photos of Whitetop Mtn.

    Hugs,
