autumn in my yard

[aslant]

today in the yard i:

• raked the leaves off the pathways
• discovered most of the front yard is actually moss
• repaired part of the stone wall that had tumbled down
• clipped back the rhododendron so it doesn't block the walkway
• removed parts of a vine that are choking a tree in the backyard
• cut down the sunflowers along the fence where they were rotting
• took down part of a trellis that had come apart
• discovered some mystery beans in cranberry-striped pods under the trellis:

Those beans are so pretty! What on earth??

I've seen cranberry-striped beanpods that yield dark red beans, but not blue! I also wonder if some combination of rainstorm/half rotting/total lack of cultivation changed their color? I have no clue. I am sprouting some so that hopefully we can grow more!
