This past weekend, we received a special act of kindness. Our neighbors, Brian and Andrea Sizemore, along with their two children, Tanner and Alex, came to our home to help "dig" potatoes.
This was the first year that Jimmy attempted to plant potatoes. (We are still learning about farming.) He only planted 3 rows so we could see how things went and make a decision on whether or not we would do it again next year. I happy to report that we yielded lots of potatoes. Enough to keep us from buying them for the rest of the year. 
Alex and Tanner had their special buckets and went to work. They were so cute and hard workers! Tanner seemed determined to find lots of potatoes. Alex dug potatoes but enjoyed squishing her feet in the mud as well!
Brian and Andrea are pros at digging potatoes and taught us a lot this year!
Brian was nice enough to bring the a turn plow (did I say that correctly?) and he and Jimmy went to work turning the potatoes again to see if we could fine more!
Afterwards, we treated our help to soda and cookies! Andrea, I hope we paid our help enough so they will want to come dig potatoes next year! Yes, we will plant again!Galations 6:10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
Looks like a good time. Sorry I didn't reply to your offer to dig potatoes this year. I appreciate the offer though. Looks like you got a good crop. Maybe we can help next year.
ReplyDeleteIt was just nice being with good company!!! Tanner had so much fun digging deep into the dirt and Alex had fun playing in the mud...up until she sat in the ant pile atleast! They are looking forward to spending time at your house on Saturday!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd you can count us in for next year!!! :D
Them Sizemores are the most tater-diggin' family I know. As if they didn't get enough of it the weekend before. But if Mr. Jimmy gives $500 to every child (lol)mine will be there next year!!!
ReplyDeleteYes, and I believe he will probably give bonuses next year for the person who digs the most potatoes...haha
