Potatoes!
Cedar August 14th, 2007
I’ve just harvested my first potato crop ever from my garden plot in my back yard! I planted red potatoes…mmmm. They were surprisingly easy to grow. All you have to do is wait till the green part of the plant shrivels up and turns brown…then you dig, and voila!
I unearthed these beautiful specimens:
Some were a standard medium potato size, and some were really tiny:
I’ve decided to learn more about investing. I’m reading “Smart Women Finish Rich” by David Bach. I’d recommend it to anyone (even if you’re not a woman.)
I’m thinking a lot about autumn lately. Where I live it is still hot and humid every day and there aren’t really any overt signs of the season changing yet, but everyone seems to be slowly getting into that back-to-school, can’t-wait-to-wear-sweaters, gotta-wrap-up-my-summer-fun kind of mode. The other day I canned 8 quarts of tomatoes, to be used for delicious home-made sauce all through the winter.
Tomorrow morning I’m leaving for a few days vacation in the Outer Banks. (Family reunion on my husband’s dad’s side.) I’ve never been and always wanted to go, so I’m really looking forward to it. The place we are going is called Emerald Isle. Based on the name alone, it certainly sounds beautiful.
When we return next week I’ll get back to painting, and all that other stuff I’m supposed to be doing.
I Like those tastey tiny taters………..
Have fun at Emerald Isle
Have fun on the outer banks. sunsets on the sound are fantastic. There are 3 light houses nearby. There is a great chance to photograph the wild ponies(I did not get a chance)but maybe next time. All in all it’s a beautiful place I painted the whole time we were there. There is a painting everywhere you look. Enjoy yourself and have a fun safe time.
I’ve been thinking a lot about autumn too…
thanks for the voice mail - sucks but life keeps on a marching on, right?
have fun on the OuterBanks… come visit soon! And bring some of those delicious home-grown veggies!
Good job. Don’t they taste awesome! I’ve got tomatos - boy have I got tomatos! and peppers and cabbage and broc —-
peace

I love Emerald Isle. Especially in September when no one else is there
Loni,
Where is the Outerbanks? It sounds like Washington State…if so, it is gorgeous…I finally found you on the computer (a little slow…)
