Picnics for Patriotism

You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism. ~Erma Bombeck

Thanks to the heat waves across country, including our part of southwestern Wisconsin, we’re digging up our beautiful Norland Red potatoes today to celebrate Independence Day from both a local-food and renewable-energy perspective.
