Digging for treasure

I told my potato partner to meet me in the garden because we were going to dig for treasure!  I gathered up the egg baskets (from when great grandpa used to have a chicken farm along with the dairy farm) and went to the garden.  As I would dig, my potato partner would pick up the BIG nuggets. 
The potato crop was great this year!  We got some nice baking size potatoes! 

Oh my goodness!! What did we find here? 


The candy man stopped by while we were digging and added to our treasure.
Thanks Uncle Eddie!

What an amazing crop! Plenty of big ones for sure!

I don't know what to believe about Uncle Eddie. Did he really do that? I'm just a curious kind of person, Melissa. lol

Uncle Eddie didn't actually bury the choco treasure....he laid it on top of a basket of potatoes at the end of the row.(shhh! Don't tell anybody that) My potato partner was having fun acting surprised when I got the camera out. :o)
