Finally Goodbye

You may or may not remember that last February Issa started a science project with two potatoes. One she kept in the dark, the other lived on a plate in the light. It has been sitting on my counter every since.

We have watched it grow even more, but it was finally starting to shrivel--and stink--and did I mention stink? It was time to say goodbye. We took a few last photos:

It really is amazing that is made it this long--no water or anything. The one didn't even have light! But alas and alack, they are now compost. I am not that sad, because did I mention the stink?
