It seems, as obscure as it is, Bean Day is not without it’s controversy. Some say Bean Day is not until April, Some claim it to be January 6th. But at least one source has it squarely on the 5th. So as I move down the road with my This Day in History/Calendar Event project it seemed appropriate to bring to your attention the celebration of Bean Day. Now Go eat your vegtables! :P

  1. Beans, beans, the magical fruit…

    This is a fun group, Jeff. Who knew there could be so much controversy about bean day?

  2. Normally I would say yum cuz its food >.> but i so don’t like green beans! Maybe for Bean day I can give them away. Just think of it this way in April you can have bean day again!

  3. Nice shot! I actually ate some green beans with supper tonight! So, did you shoot this at home or is this a shot in some grocery store aisle? I’d love to see you in a WalMart setting up lights and gear to pull this one off!

I will make up for it tomorrow by consuming plenty of the musical fruit, the more you eat, the more you toot – as my dad would say.
