Many many years ago I quit buying frozen green beans. There is nothing worse. Now I have to change my tune, HOMEGROWN frozen green beans are as good as fresh off the vine. The other day I made a casserole and opened up a small bag of green beans from our garden that was put in the freezer and YUMMY. Here it is almost the middle of Oct. and yesterday the green beans were picked and I snapped them all and Clay wound up canning 5 1/2 quarts from that batch. For years and years I had pretty much stopped eating tomatoes. The ones you get from the store are expensive and horrible. No flavor. I realized the other day that our tomato plants are done for the year and I am really going to miss fresh tomatoes. That is the wonderful thing about seasons, seasons of all kinds. I know that by late spring next year there will be fresh tomatoes and lots of new green beans. Just like snow and cold weather, you just start getting your fill of them and then they are gone. Then the next wonderful season starts. I remember thinking before spring this past year that I was tired of seeing, brown, just brown, all the trees were barren and brown and how wonderful it was when everything started turning green. The green has been great but seeing all the colors that will soon be here and then the leaves falling and covering the ground, oh and the sound that you make walking through piles of leaves. Yep, seasons are the best.
Everyone here will miss the turkeys. They follow us around the yard like dogs would. The males are HUGE. Just in the past week they have started gobbling. They had been making noise for a long time, but the males really "gobble" and it is a really neat sound.
I miss my girls, my other grandchildren so much that my heart actually hurts in my chest. Love shouldn't hurt so bad.
