It is Time

Time for Corn Picking! Being the first year ever that we have successfully grown corn, this was a long-awaited, much anticipated event.

We picked about a dozen ears, and if the raccoons & squirrels will stay away, we should have a LOT more.

(It was so humid yesterday that my camera kept fogging up.)

The ear on the right could have used a little more time growing & plumping up.
Queenie carefully picked the silk from her silver queen. She loves corn.

And... on another note...

Monkey Man turned NINE today! Nine years ago today, he came into the world and gave us a big surprise. We had thought we were having another girl. Little did we know that we'd have a 10+lb baby boy instead!
