Oh no, Miss Wilma and Sterl...those are two that DIDN'T get planted the first go around. I planted 5 lbs. of both types....that's enough potatoes for Sterl and Justin for sure (also his favorite food!!!)
I just took the nicest long bath...my grandmother would be SO disturbed by that dirt ring around the tub! As she would say, "child, you could grow a potato on your neck" when she scrubbed me down after playing outside all summer day!!!
Tell Sterl the countdown to pie begins TODAY!!!!

Hey girls - Jonni, I just saw those same seeds earlier while we were out and about. Our ground is still very saturated and my garden that became a "pond" for a couple of days finally got water out of them. It has been a beautiful day. We ended up going to Keeneland early this morning as the horses were out training with their morning workout. Not a lot of folks there and I got photos. Then we visited one of my cousins, then ate, then went to the KY Horse Park. We got free admission from a coupon I forgot about but needed to use. We walked all day around there and then we ended up taking a couple of horse farm tours. It was indeed a beautiful day in Kentucky. :)

Thanks, girls! It was truly a glorius day yesterday...today will be much the same, but I am back at work sitting here, in my basement office (blech!). Going to take a nice walk at lunch though, down to the river and sit and read a bit.
Miss Wilma, I do like dry land fish :) I love foraging--next time I come down, you and Sterl are going to have to teach me. Yesterday I used some wild green onions I found on the lower portion of the acre on our pork cardoval tacos. Yummy!
Thanks, Lisa...Outhouse Hollyhocks. I HAD to buy them. I've always loved Hollyhocks and, believe it or not, my Great Gran always planted hers around the outhouse to "pretty it up" a bit. She planted them around most outdoor buildings. Jus bought me that porchswing for our 5th anniversary. I love it, too....after all my gardening chores were done, my bath and dusting the living room and doing dishes, I sat out there on that swing until it got dark!
