Guest guest Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 I like blue potatoes better, I think blue and red potatoes are the best. hugs, Chanda - wwjd Wednesday, August 02, 2006 1:37 PM Re: Re:OT Birds Heidi You were really treated to some most beautiful sites. Thanks for sharing that. What a funny name for that Bay? Wonder how it got it's name. Do Blue Potatoes taste different than other potatoes? I have seen them at the DKM before, but haven't tried them yet. I even saw some golden beets there. Has anyone tried those? I'm feeling very glad that the birds are staying away from my veggie garden. Sorry to hear they have made it a feeding station in yours. Judy Judy - Heidi Cusworth Tuesday, August 01, 2006 2:47 PM Re:OT Birds Jolie Reading about the Heron's reminded me of a wonderful site I had this past sunday. I live on Whidbey Island and run everyday. On sunday I ran one along Useless Bay on the south end of the island and it was really, really low tide. I usually stop at this one spot to streatch and sometime see one or two herons. On sunday I counted over 22!!!!!!!!! It was awesome. Then running home I spotted two bald eagles. Very, very cool. We have a lot of bird life in our yard and recently put up a bat box to help with the evening bug time. the birds have really taken to hanging out in my garden this year. I wonder if they will help my tomato's grow faster???!!! I wish! I ate my first cherry tomato yesterday. I tried to take it last, but gulp! Major yum! We also dug up our first potato's, they were All Blue's and boy oh boy are they good! Well now I'm rambling! I hope everyone is having a nice day!

We love the bats. The other evening a group of 10 kept flying in circles over the house. Every time the flew back over the patio there was one less in their group, until they got down to only one that made the final loop. We laughed, because it seemed like they were playing a game to see who was the last one remaining in the pack. > > I imagine seeing that Great Heron was a beautiful site. Don't you just love being near a pond at daybreak when the mist is rising off the water? What a nice place to have a breakfast. My mom lives in Florida and there are ponds all around the place she is at. When we visit her, we see all kinds of wildlife, birds and alligators. It is very peaceful. > > Judy > > > > Jolie > > Saturday, July 29, 2006 6:25 PM > Re: Re: other groups Jolie > > Deanna, > > Birds are amazing creatures. When I was younger, I remember sitting at my grandparents sliding glass door and watching the birds come to the bird feeders. Now, I lived in a suburb just outside Boston, Ma and I remember very clearly the day the pheasants came to feed. Pheasants are very rare around my area, so it was a big deal. They were beautiful. I also used to lay on my back in my backyard and watch the hawks circle above. The most beautiful thing I ever saw was in Maine when I was about maybe 15-16 years old. My parents and grandparents own houses right on the water and one morning I was up before everyone else. I walked down to the dock to have my breakfast and perched on the end of the dock was a Great Heron (I believe). I had never seen one up close, by that time I was on the dock, and it was beautiful. It looked right at me, looked at the water, looked at me and casually flew off. It was breathtaking. Didn't mean to ramble. > > Jolie > > > genny_y2k <genny_y2k > > Saturday, July 29, 2006 8:50:09 AM > Re: other groups Jolie > > Tom, > Your post reminded me of watching the Eagles catching fish off an > island in BC.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Hi Judy, I think Blue Potatoes are just wonderful!! They have a creamy texture and a full rich flavor, next up for me would be red rosa potatoes. They are both great boiled, with a pince of dill, salt and pepper. Yum! I love all potatoes. Useless Bay on Whidbey Island got it's name for being so called " useless " , by Captian Vancouver. ( I think that's the right Captian). When he was exploring the area, the tides were(and still are)so extream, it's not a good bay to dock in. The boats in the bay at low tide sit on the sand. I don't think the bay is useless at all, I love all the wildlife. Does anyone have a good suggestion for sage? I have a massive bush of it. I " ve given a lot of it away, frozen some, but still seem to be swimming in it. Cheers, Heidi , " wwjd " <jtwigg wrote: > > You were really treated to some most beautiful sites.
