Sick Day Activities

Hope has been home from school for two days feeling a bit poorly. Nothing serious, just a typical malady for her age, sniffles, sore throat and just to round out the illness, a bout of vomiting in the car. Tim has the car at work today so I am hoping that it comes home smelling sweeter than it did last night. Yesterday she was very quiet and not her usual self but today she is definitely on the mend. She has taken advantage of the absence of Grace and spent some time in Grace's room on the keyboard.
She has even had enough energy to do a chore for me today. I picked the dried Ying Yang beans but was yet to take the beans out of the pod. It is a perfect job for little hands and the only payment she asked was to take a couple of beans.

Ying Yang Beans

Who could resist. They are quite lovely to look at and weren't bad producers either. The Ying Yang beans are bush beans and don't require staking or a trellis. I have plenty of seeds for next season and maybe enough to give away a few or swap.

I'm taking advantage of having to stay close to home and sorting out my fabric box and then starting a bit of sewing. Now that Hope is feeling better, I can really enjoy it.
