Good morning!!!!

Someone needs to make you a Potato King crown.

Hmmm. Maybe PJ's wife needs to work on this creation:
white potatoes
white fingerlings
red potatoes
dark blue potatoes

now what colors does that remind you of?
gosh what a Fourth of July decoration that could make :dance1:

assuming I had any artistic ability...anyone want to design a patriotic potato flag?

For when spud sales are flagging ?

A few years ago they were trying to promote alternative uses for potatoes with your idea Drew, although the voice over in this video doesn't quite come off and it's not until the very end that you get a glimpse of a patriotic display of red, white and blue.

An unexpected light shower is just passing over. For the past week my left foot has been getting damp walking through wet grass as my wellie boots have worn through at the toes, however I've gone and treated myself to a new pair. Both the old and this new pair were made in France by a company called "Le Chameau". It is one of those occasions when paying more for top quality really does seem to have paid off as they have been been exceptionally comfortable and have withstood being worn on most days of the week for the last 4 years.

Of course being a cheapskate at heart, I will still be repairing the old ones , only strange thing is that everywhere that sells the best repair glue are out of stock. All the fishermen must have been be patching up their waders - or getting high on the solvent.

Cajun, Creme Brulee air con - that's cool !

After a week of low 70s and low humidity it’s back to normal today, still not bad.

Ed, BEF and Don, you all had good days for very different reasons!

I mowed here yesterday, trying to pass Ellen’s grass off to the 30 year old son and his gf that are moving in there soon.
Ellen has been here a little over two weeks and from the looks of the walk in closet she is not planning on leaving soon. The dog now calls me daddy! LOL.

Prayers for all of us, a good day and good weekend to all.

Eric, thank you, fascinating and creative 8 minutes on where the potatoes with green spots go.
A bit longer trip than I think my taters can make...

yesterday's dig in my elevated garden started off with a great big Yukon Gold. And then small ones, and I stopped. Tried the dark blue
potatoes; nope, they were the size of eggs. Tried the Fingerlings, the lighter colored ones, just three little ones.
Figured I was just too soon, put the whites and blues back to bed for two more weeks.

Pulled 13 Texas Sweets, put one in the fridge for me. Neighbor told me they were ready when tops fell over. ??
Almost all mine had fallen over and still seemed to still grow so this may be a clash
of wive's tales, or maybe wisdom from another region.

Garden Club luncheon today with the Ladies and then dinner out with a friend.
Not a day to get dirty.
But tomorrow will come.

Cooler morning, 60 out, very nice, thunderstorms mid day possible.
Hope you all have a good day

Good morning all, 57 here with fog going to 84 with a 30% chance of t-storms. Buppies, tired and achy this morning but don't know why. Need to go to the grocery and a few more errands. Hope to get the window units out of the bedrooms and into their long term homes. Also hope to get a little more done on the garage clean out.

Don hope settling in goes smooth.

Hope everyone has a great day, prayers sent to those in need. Ed

Need to pour second cup of coffee. 58ｰ with a few clouds this morning. Heading to 82ｰ with Partly cloudy skies. Got lawn cut yesterday. Trimmed pine trees along side road and move all the branches to the need to chip pile. Back to neighbors place to do a final rototiller, leveling and raking before planting grass.

Good news from several people. Wishes for the good news to continue.

Good Morning All.
