Of Canning and a . . . haircut?

We canned green beans yesterday and were able to acquire 14 jars! I believe they are quart size.



Yes, I'm afraid the jars are really crooked in the picture. 
The rock they are on is not so smooth...

Such a lovely green!

My little cousin, Haydon.

Isn't he a cute? But be warned! There is always mischief sparkling from those blue eyes!

Helping with the cucumbers.





By now you're probably wondering what this all has to do with haircuts. I shall relieve you of your suspense with a short story: 

"Once upon a time a little boy of 4 went to visit his aunt, uncle, and cousins. Haydon, for that was his name, went one beautiful summer's day to play outside! He explored the small plot with great delight when he all-of-a-sudden came upon the most dreadful of occurrences! A pair of scissors! 


Soon he was merrily sniping away at the lovely golden curls by his forehead! His eldest cousin was promptly horrified to find such a tragedy had happened and vowed never again to leave her scissors outside."

The End


Hope this story has made you laugh. But never, under any circumstances leave a child alone with a pair of scissors!

Blessings, dear readers!

The haircut story was funny :)

The green beans look great! Our family cans them too, but ours aren't quite ready yet. I can't wait till we can eat them fresh...

that is a funny story and you are right to say "never leave a pair of scissors out with a child and I know because my brothers have done the same thing but worse than just the front. :)
