Green Beans & Dream Homestead


My green beans did well for just planting among my flowers & shrubs. I froze what I grew but I wanted more to can. I purchased these green beans at an Amish farm market this week.

Tonight I cleaned the green beans snapped them & canned them. I got six pints & one quart. we will be eating the quart jar next meal.

I found this property while driving to a property listed with a real estate agency. It is not for sale but I really like it. It is much like my dream house in my side bar. I have not been able to find out who the owner is yet. From what I have been told the owner lives in another state. The kids & I can stay at the homestead for now or at the most five years if lucky. I know I am going to have to find a place within five years or sooner. I have hopes that if the owner would like to sale it at some point I could sale the 5 acre property my Pap & Gram gave me to finance it. For now it is a dream homestead for me. I guess I will see what God has in store for the kids & I while I dream & hope these days.

Blessings Til Next Time!

    Hey you never know. Maybe if you can track down the owners they would love to get it off their hands! I would say it would be worth the effort and it would be your own place! wouldn't that be wonderful? Best of luck girl!

    Bottled green beans are sooo good. We snapped so many of those things as kids. That property does look a lot like your dream home. Put it in your five year plan:)-Steph-
