Sweet potatoes!

They are harvested, cleaned and the deck cleaned!LOL I put them ont he deck to spray the dirt off and it makes for a messy deck. But still the simplest way I've ocme up w/to do that. They are drying now. The crop doesn't seem nearly as impressive as last year, but they do look great! The boys had a blast helping.

I also found a snake while mowing so Mat was entertained for a bit!LOL Mat's got a penpal (got a letter today) and so now Joey's writing to ppl. Using construction paper and writing his name on about 7 of them!LOL He wants to mail them.

And the yard is mowed. It took me a good 15 minutes to start it and then it ran out of gas! ARGH! So I have to call Dh to find out where the 2 cycle is and that jug is emtpy go back to the garage and look there. I finally get it filled and it won't start again! That's when I took a break and dug potatoes--good way to work out my frustration!LOL But I even mowed a few extra spots for Dh. I did something to my knee tho so now my knee AND hip both hurt. I don't like getting old!LOL

So after Matlock, I'm SHOWERING! Supper is chili that is thawing on the counter.

Where do you store all your sweet potatoes? I've never had any luck keeping potatoes for very long down here. Are you riding the big lawn mower now??

Buz,
YIKES! I'd die if I was the only one who liked chili!LOL Thankfully we all do.
Karen,
I store them in our basement. I have better luck w/sweet potatoes, than regular ones, but we were able to keep the regular ones for a while last year. And NO I'm not using that thing yet!LOL Which is fine w/me. More exercise walking.;)
