My beans were taken out by crickets this year.  I think.  That seems to be the bug highest in number at the scene of the crime.  But I won’t let that diminish our summer bean consumption.  Most late afternoons, you can find me lounging in the shade of the play set, with my book and a bag of beans.  When little hands get cold in the pool, they are more than happy to take a break, and do a little snapping.
