Dear Friends,
Last weekend, with an abundance of love and devotion, eager volunteers harvested prashad potatoes from Ishwar’s dera garden in Bruce, Wisconsin.

The potato-plucking party was ably assisted by “Shanti” the dera puppy, who has a nose for buried treats!

The spud-spaders were rewarded with a treasure-trove of tremendous tubers beneath each plant.

Happy sevadars display tomorrow’s lunch … either baked potatoes, or potato stew, or mashed potatoes, or twice-baked potatoes, or boiled potatoes, or roasted potatoes, or hash-brown potatoes, or potato soup, or potato salad, or “Who Cares!” potatoes!

Shanti, the tater-turning canine, was delighted by the opportunity for dirt seva!

After the spuds have cured in the garage, they will be enjoyed by the local sangat for many months.
