DeleteWhat do you do with the Cherokee beans? Are they like black beans? Interesting. Really enjoy all the pictures and the cat is beautiful, I have two all black cats that would like to play.
ReplyDeleteBest to you both!
Hey JMD! The Cherokee beans are a really neat heirloom bean. It's got a real nice flavor, a bit milder (Is that right?) than a black bean. It has a nice texture too. They are a shelling bean rather than picked as a green bean. (I tried them like that too)
DeleteCats are fun aren't they?
Great photos, you too!
ReplyDeleteThank you ma'am! Happy New Year!!!
DeleteYour post makes me hungry!
ReplyDeleteWhere did you find the barrels that hold your grey wash water?
So glad you were safe. Have a Blessed New Year. ♥
We found the barrels off Craigslist. Actually we went to pick up a couple of metal ones and he just tossed this barrel in for free.
DeleteI hope the New Year is your best yet!
Love the picture of Coco the Loco - her eyes are impossibly blue. I've thoroughly enjoyed keeping up with you over the past year. I'm wishing you a 2013 full of abundance and happiness. Happy New Years!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for following along this past year. Who knows what the next one will hold. I hope the coming year is kind to you and yours.

ReplyDeleteLove all the pictures of the place! Just imagine what fun you'll have canning this year!
Whew Jim, what a ride the past year was is right! Here's to hoping for blessings to touch us all in the coming year.
DeleteThe canning looks great! One of my plans this year is to get better about canning. But freezing is so much easier ........Just looking at my stock pot makes images of my spilled and splattered kitchen from making tomato sauce fill my head!!! Stevie@ruffedfeathersandspilledmilk.com
ReplyDeleteLOVE the photos, especially of all the canning goodies! And I'll bet that cedar will smell heavenly when you burn it!
