Corn Harvest

Corn day came and we spent the morning in the shade of the corn stalks. Despite the Temperature outside, beneath the tall stalks it remained a constant 90 degrees....weird when that feels cool. But when the sun isn't beating you up it really isn't that bad. The harvest was wonderful despite the lack of rain. We pulled in 230 corns-on-,the cob.

Love and Hate

There is a fine line between love and hate. Me and blackberries share this relationship. I was picking one day and really enjoying the bumper crop that we have had this year; but was wondering, as the blackberry bramble once again tried to swallow me up, just how much blood is mixed in with the harvest. My children on the other hand have a love-love relationship with the berries. They watch momma pick, then they eat all the berries...aahh to be a kid again.
