Laughing Lhursday*

Once again I feel relieved
that Fortune favours fools,
or as a German saying goes,
"Die dümmsten Bauern
ernten die größten Kartoffeln."
/
"The dumbest farmers
harvest the biggest potatoes".

Sometimes a saying
can be a great comfort.

* [For first time visitors]: Typo in the title? Nah. It's just that
I would not let a tiny T spoil an avantgardistic alliteration.

Fortune favours fools,
or as a German saying goes,
"Die dümmsten Bauern
ernten die dicksten Kartoffeln"
(The dumbest farmers
harvest the biggest potatoes).


Once again
the old saying
offered me great comfort.

And here to put my genius
into the right perspective.

Promising

First spuds.
The amount promises a good harvest.
Tasting they were excellent, anyway.

What a mess, you think?
Well, it is: And it is not.
It's diversity.

First Potatoes

Yesterday: first look.
Then: peeling the potatoes.
Mhmm ... so delicious.

Boring photograph?
It does bear a promise, though.
One year's potatoes.

Earth apples

Getting curious I dug up the first potatoes.
Looks as if we're going to have a fine harvest.

After all

Actually, we did not plant marigold.
The marigold was but some weeks quicker.
By now the potatoes start booming.

Pink October

One row,
and the digging
will have found its end.

Satisfied curiosity

The first new potatoes tasted well today,
and so did the beans.

Ought I to be worried?


In case one can rely on the saying I derived comfort from last year, I ought to be very worried ...

Fortune favours fools



September is ending.

1. All potatoes are digged up.

2. Fortune favours fools, or as a German saying goes, "The most stupid farmer would get the biggest potatoes.

3. Sometimes a saying can be a great comfort.
