it's been one of those days for sure. last night when laying down i kept hearing something that sounded like something under the house was running, but after talking to Mom she said it wasn't (she can hear the sump pump and the well pump in her room, but i can't really hear them over here that easy in this side room). so this morning, just to be sure, i put on my dusty clothes from yesterday that i'd used to crawl under the house and took out the trash and then pulled the cover off the crawlspace entrance and checked it out with the flashlight, listened, nope, everything is all right down there. which is good and as it should be. 
*whew!*
this morning called the guy about the lawnmower and he said it was ok to bring it by tomorrow. called other friends to see if they'd be home so i could drop off ash buckets and lids. all set other than the weather and making sure Mom didn't need to do something tomorrow afternoon. don't think she does. so another adventure in the out-and-about.
other than that took naps (did not plan on waking up at 3:30am but there i was) and did dishes. very exciting. i'll start back on shelling more beans tonight sometime.

These long dark hrs before bed are boring!! I wandered over to garden site and have some questions.
Blu-Jay. Has beautiful pics of soooo many beans & scanning posts it appears he has a website to sell bean seed. Fine... Some threads mentioned " network seeds" and I get the idea that he has these seed to send to "growers" to produce seed for him. I get the impression he sends a number of seeds, with agreement to return some number back from those produced. May be simplified, only scanned threads. Am I seeing that somewhat correctly?
Anyway, many of these he's never eaten, just is a dealer. Well, nice to love beans but sorry there's not much in the way of use, taste input. Sad. I plant to use!
Next.... I see that these are often only 3-10 plants the producers are growing.
Not garden production quantities. So, how far apart are you guys placing to restrict cross pollination? What other methods are used? i.e. Bloom stage, plant dates, bagging, etc.
