Eyes

Plan to plant potatoes this afternoon.  Reminded me of this story.

EYES

Potato eyes

underground lie

where they now spy.

Potato eyes

silently spy

on earthworm guys.

Earthworms say hi

although shy.

Then bye bye.

Potato eyes

will one day sigh

growing more nigh.

Potato plants grow knee high

then blossoms are seen nigh.

Be sure to sneak some. Why?

Potatoes are the best, that's why,

when new – either red or white dyed.

Be sure to take time today to try.

More grow nigh

by and by.

No need to buy.

After the vines die,

they taste real good fried

or on shepherd’s pie.

Be sure to try

baked versus fried

with your guy.

If the potato's skin is green dyed

they won't taste as good for they did lie

above the soil, now sun burnt or green dyed.

You might save these potato guys

to plant next year for these green eyes

will grow a new family by and by.

Potato eyes are where the sprouts form

that grow more potatoes one morn.

They are not for seeing.

They are just for growing.

We, though, have eyes for seeing

and also eyes for growing.

The Bible calls these all-seeing eyes “the eyes of your heart.”

These eyes allow us to grow believing faith within our hearts.

The windows/eyes of the heart, is a knowing, that’s key,

that we have a hope, or an absolute certainty,

that God has a plan and a purpose

and will give us His power for His use.

I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened

in order that you may know

the hope to which he has called you,

the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints,

and his incomparably great power for us who believe.

Ephesians 1:18-19

One hill of Yukon Gold potatoes from Garden's Alive

washed in the recycled outdoor sink.

Did plant two rows of potatoes this afternoon:
the Yukon Gold and Fingerlings that were sun burnt last summer
(stored in the crisper over the winter).
Covered both rows of crooked rows of potatoes with compost.
Will hill up once I see growth.

Also put up a mismatch of fencing.
Was reminded of Mr. Czim who used to help me.
Everything squared and picture perfect.
My attempt reminds me of Nehemiah in the OT.
His enemies laughed at Nehemiah for rebuilding the wall
and stated that a fox would knock it over.
I'm certain that wall was squared and picture perfect.
My attempt to kept the unwelcome guests out is laughable.
Will try to post the fence story I wrote regarding this next time.
