fearsome potatoes

One would be surprised at what an unsupervised Winter

in the garage will do to a box of potatoes...

They literally take on a life of their own.

It goes without saying that I kept them above ground

a little longer than I should have.

But it's been raining...

We had just a short little window to get them planted.

Dad agreed; these things were pretty scary looking.

Kind of made us happy to bury them.

The dirt was so wet and heavy

that Dad dug the trenches for me this year.

It made me feel bad that I'd insisted on saving

quite so many of last year's potatoes...

Let's just say -

if the Lord chooses to bless them,

we won't be lacking in potatoes this Fall...
