  2. What 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.

    Best to you both!

    1. 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)
      Cats are fun aren't they?

  3. Your post makes me hungry!

    Where did you find the barrels that hold your grey wash water?

    So glad you were safe. Have a Blessed New Year. ♥

    1. 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.
      I hope the New Year is your best yet!

  9. The 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
