I thought maybe I'd give you an update of things happening around the ranch lately, but when I stopped and thought about the things happening at the ranch I realized nothing's really happening...
Last weekend was very low key. Brian and I worked in the garden all morning and afternoon, pulling weeds and harvesting the last of some of our plants. For those of you that I've complained to this summer because I was getting no green beans that problem has now been rectified. Turns out I accidentally planted pole beans, not bush beans, and pole beans (as the name suggests) like to grow on poles and get very long and viney. Well I didn't realize I had pole beans and therefore did not put up poles for them to grow on. So instead I have the worlds biggest ball of intertwined bean mess on my hands...but alas they did finally produce beans. In fact they produced more beans then I know what to do with. I picked about a 5 gallon bucket full on Saturday, and by Saturday night I had completely broken out in a rash all over my arms and my feet where I had stepped into the beans. I guess I'm allergic to the bean plants or something on the plants really irritates my skin cause my arms are still red and splotchy and itchy. Long story short these bean plants have really been driving me crazy all summer long...but I think I won the battle cause I got more beans in the freezer than I'll be able to eat in a year...since I'm the only one in the Meyer house that likes green beans. Oh well, maybe Oscar will like them and next year no pole beans.
Sunday we also processed a 5 gallon bucket of carrots and chopped about 30 cups of onions. My finger nails still smell like onions...yummy! But as you can tell by my very exciting post on green beans and onions, nothing's really happening at the ranch.
4 more weeks until Oscar is here!

Geeez I'm sure we can find someone that would love a new bow. I'll ask Brian tonight. Don't you want it?
I can get as many as I want, you just need to use a different persons name and my roommate said I can use his if there are more people that want one! I am pretty sure I am getting one but I just bought a new one last year so I am still unsure!
