The Canning of beans...

Megan Oh the waiting game...
I absolutely love harvesting any thing really. I think it is so cool that food grows right from the ground! It feels like a miracle to me. This year I had Megan to share it with. I am so thankful to have a friend to can with! We spent many hours out side in the fresh air swapping stories and chomping on freshly picked beans. Call me crazy but I love picking beans. There is just something about being elbow deep in sticky leaves that make your arms itch like crazy and looking so hard that you can't see any beans at all and then out of no where you move a leaf and bam a ridiculous bundle of beans right in front of your nose! Oh the thrill of the hunt!
