Decorah or bust!
I'm off to the annual Seed Saver's Exchange campout and gathering at
the headquarters farm in Iowa, doing some visiting on the way out and back. I promise a full report this time, complete with pictures of the guilty parties. It's nice to be amongst a whole crowd of like-minded lunatics! --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. http://www.avg.com |

Cheers! i've seen those. i'm poking fun at myself and my mental illness when it comes down to collecting even more bean varieties. i happened to be sorting the collection recently but had to pack them away yesterday to get my room cleaned up a bit for visitors. i was daydreaming of a system that would take a picture of each bean and then sort them for me. i don't think i'll be able to finish sorting them before the harvest starts up again. at least i did combine a lot of them so i am down to three shelves of containers (many containers have multiple varieties). when i'm feeling particularly anxious i can sort a pile and then mix them back together to sort them again. kinda like picking stones off the beach combined with the worry stone concept. :) hope you have a great time! songbird |

[ anyone else who is interested in beans and varieties i'm always happy to trade or send out seeds. i like to see my children wander and hear back stories of how they do. :) ] songbird |

Thought at first it was my provider, ATT, sometimes they get jammed. Turned out it was not ATT but we never did find out what was happening but we are getting the emails regularly now. He's sort of a loner so he was worried maybe the gubmint was reading his emails. He got over it quickly. Heck, he's a retired military ossifer, he should know better. He lives so far back in the woods they have to pump sunlight to him and he likes it that way. |

He lives so far back in the woods they have to pump sunlight to him and he likes it that way. some days i feel that ways too. except i like my garden spaces open to the sun so i get my veggies growing... which reminds me, gotta go check the cucumbers soon. rains are done for now. songbird |
