New Potatoes and Bird Spottings

Crispness...it's a word, and it's in the air.  Birds are afflutter with the changing seasons, and even if your potatoes aren't full sized, enjoy a few.

These redskins fresh from the garden are especially delicately flavored when boiled or gently roasted.

Butter, salt and pepper is often plenty of seasoning for these fresh beauties.  As potatoes age, you may want to add a pinch of thyme or sage--but with new potatoes give the real potato flavor a chance.

 
Seeing birds like this in the garden while harvesting is gratifying; we've both benfited from each other's activites this year.
