Twenty Pounds of Potatoes

The last big job was to get the potatoes in.

I still have smaller things like green beans, cucumbers

and squash.

I dreaded doing the potatoes, I

kept putting it off. 
This morning I woke up determined to get it done!

My fella had already rototilled  the spot.

I had to pull out the weeds that were left, 

hoe the rows and plant.

Addan came out and helped me.

I'm so thankful for times like this.

In a large family, it takes extra effort to spend time with 

each child.  This will be a time he remembers, especially

this winter when I remind him of how our work paid off in yummy

mashed potatoes and shepherd's pie!

I got the ground ready and hoed each row.

Addan came after me and planted all the seed potatoes.

He chattered away the whole time.

I'm usually so busy that I often don't really hear their chatter.

I know this is bad!!!  That's why these times are so nice

to have together.  I had nowhere to go and he had my

full attention.

"Mom, can I start burying them?

The job is done and it ended up being a fun time together!
