Mr. FuddyDuddle

This is a previous
subject (study)
I have saved
from another area
(Florida)
that I haven't
yet shared.
I nick-named
this ol' fella'
'Mr. FuddyDuddle'
because I thought
that he had obvious
character and charm.
Well- he charmed me!

Potatoes we dug

they are super
smooth and creamy;
they fry UP well to a
crisp which is
potato perfection :) )
Bottom:
Our little eggplant
and I'm not to
sure what all else!

in since last night.
Alas, it is 61
degrees here

day of August
in the High Country.

Nature's Delights

These delights
I have ~found...
'under my nose
today;'
a front yard
fuscia lilly
slick with
the rain,
the wee
green melon,
and tomatoes
well hidden~
a red
and juicy
offering
amongst
the greenery.
