Potato Party

Well this post is a little late, but I figured better late than never. Back in September we were blessed to have the help of friends, family and neighbors to get our potato crop out of the ground. We made it into quite a party. In the evening we all had a harvest dinner of potato soup and Asian cabbage salad. We also celebrated David's 4th birthday with a some cupcakes, balloons, and gifts.

Huckleberries

Melissa and I had the chance to go pick huckleberries with Jennifer Watkins, her sister and a friend. It was fun to explore until we found the best patches. We picked until we got driven off the mountain by a thunder storm. Afterwards we went down to the river and had lunch. I didn't swim,(the water was cold and it was still cloudy though the storm had passed) but some people did.

When we got home I washed the berries and froze them. We also ate some of them on ice cream. One of these days I will have to make a huckleberrry pie.
