Seasons - That's One Big Spud!

Joining Jesh (St. Germains) for SEASONS

Way back in 2012 I had a post about a Giant Potato sighting and a missed opportunity and a save by a friend.



Guess what? - The Potato was back!


Yesterday I was driving past the local grocery store (Harvest Foods) that we shop at and low and behold there was the Potato truck in their parking lot. I hurried home to get my mom, Coleen and of course my camera and back we all went to take some photos.

So without further ado I give you...Spuddy Buddy and the Famous Idaho Potato Tour. - Lots of photos - Be sure to click to enlarge.

I should have moved further away because I couldn't get the entire truck into the picture.

Coleen next to the potato.

Of course I wanted in on the fun so I had Coleen take my picture.

Another view of the potato and truck from a different angle.

Now for a few details of the truck...

A closer view of the potato and it's chain.

The cab of the truck

One of the logo's on the truck. - The funny part is that people see the words,
"It's Real" and think that the actual potato is a real potato!

Where you can find more information.

Some fun potato facts listed on the back of the truck.

You'd think people would realize this fact but I know - "legalities."

"Spuddy Buddy"

Finally a couple of postcards we were given inside the store that list fun facts about the potato.  - My favorite:  If this were a real potato and you baked it, it would take 2 years and 9 months for it to bake!

Hope you have enjoyed my potato post. 

Seasons - April 4, 2016

 



Blogger was being a (pain) this morning and wouldn't let me edit the size of my photos. - But it seems to be working fine now.

I'm joining Jeanette (St Germain's) for SEASONS  In recent posts I've shared some photos of a herd of deer that we often spot.  Normally they are in a bunch of brush along side the road but this particular day they happened to be in a field behind the Adventist church nearby.  There were 10 of them present but this shot only shows five of them. -  It's a good thing it's not Hunting Season although shooting them is something I would never do except for shooting them with my camera.  They are such lovely creatures.

 

 

We are well into the Spring season here now but in this next shot you can see that our mountains still look a lot like it's Winter.  Which is good as we needed a good snow pack after last summer's drought.

On Saturday we drove out to the Community College where my hubby and SIL were working on a project to have a little impromtu lunch with them.  After lunch I took Greta, Coleen and my mom to see the Campanile at the Water Education Center.

It's a lot of fun to take sticks (or canes) and bang on the disc's to hear the wonderful sounds they make.

 

Finally since most everyone was sick with the Flu over Easter Weekend last week we held Coleen's Easter Egg Hunt yesterday.  She still enjoys hunting for the eggs and when I told her that next year would be her last year for the egg hunt she was like,  No Way!"

 

 

But there is a season in life when we have to let go of some of our childhood traditions.  We just do them in a different way for the adults now (no hunting for the eggs) but we all stick get an Easter Basket.
