We need to find meaning. We need to be useful. We need to know that who we are matters. I give, you give, we all give.
Potato harvest in progress. Still more to dig. I grow only a variety called Desiree. They aren’t prone to disease and they keep well into spring without sprouting. And, and, AND, they are TASTY.
Taters!!!!!!
Winnie Nielsen says: I love potatoes fixed so many ways. They are full of nutrition and mix with just about any meat or vegetable. Your harvest looks so pretty I all of the baskets!
Eileen Stone says: Yay potatoes! Potatoes go with everything. They seem to be one of the most versatile vegetables.
( or maybe that’s just the Irish in me….)
Elizabeth says: Ode to the wonderful potato. Potato is one of my favorite vegetables/foods. When I was in college pretty much all I would eat was potatoes. Would buy a sack (or 2) of potatoes & boil them in a huge pot, uncut & with skins still in tact. Then, I would let them cool & store them in the refrigerator until I was ready to eat. So between school & work I would grab a potato, slice it up & make a meal of it with ketchup. When I had more time I would make: mashed potatoes; potato soup: bake stuffed potato; breakfast potatoes & potato pancakes. The meals were inexpensive, filling & pretty yummy too. And once I had an Oral Surgeon actually endorse/recommend/sanction nothing but mashed potatoes for…well, a long while:-) Not what I would consider a bad Rx!
Elizabeth says: Been meaning to say that I love this picture; blues are a cherished color in my garden. And blue flowers are hard to come by but oh so pretty. Butterflies are always welcome here as I try to encourage more visitors each year by adding so many more host plants for various caterpillars.
Terry Steinmetz says: Ahhh! We’re in MN & IA where the farmers are cutting corn & soybeans!

Lately, I have been buying Idaho peaches in this small local market because the ones from the south are long gone. The peaches have been so perfect in shape and juicy. Thanks Idaho for sharing your late summer bounty all the way here in Florida.
