Bean Season

I spent the afternoon shelling dry beans with my sister Mary. The heirloom varieties we grew are just so lovely, so I had to post a few shots.

Calypso beans
















Lina Cisco's Bird Egg beans
















Ireland Creek Annie's beans
















And our old standby, Cherokee Trail of Tears beans
