Corn Harvest

This is it, the corn harvest. Two ears. Luci helped to shuck the corn (ooh, what's that?! corn silk) but would not even touch it when it was ready to eat. The boys loved it, though, and pronounced it "Awesome!" I guess we are at the end of our photo-journal of Luci and the corn.We went to a near-by dairy's open house, hoping to see how it runs but just got a nice little glimpse at their shop. They may be field-trip ready by Spring, I will call then to see and perhaps set one up for our homeschool friends. Really gorgeous barn--can't wait to see the rest of it. (By the way, I discovered that I really, really don't like goat cheese. It's been 20 hours since we were there and the taste is still fresh in my mind!)
We found a bonnet for Luci in the shop.
A nice place to sit and visit. The chairs had Auburn or Alabama painted on them. We disinfected JT as soon as we got home.

Week 9 Week 10

Now we are watching the sunflowers develop. The corn seems to be as big as it's going to get.

Luci's Corn, Week 9

I don't have access to the other pictures right now--I'm on another computer. The sunflowers are competing with the corn now! I am ready to mow this over-grown garden under. Next year we will have John to help with the plot, and that will help a lot!

Corn, Week 8

Last Week This Week

Corn....

Week 6! I thought there was not much change from last week... until I saw last week's picture in comparison!

And only 6 weeks ago...

Corn, Week 5. And Corny!!

Trying this from a different perspective--right between the cornstalks. Week 5 here: Week 4. Wow, what a difference!

Our first squash. Doggone it! We were out of butter yesterday when these were picked, so we'll have them tonight after a Piggly Wiggly run. Luci says she will eat them. We shall see.

Here's the "corny" part. One 4 year old + One happy meal box = Silly!

Corn Week 4

The corn is now 24 inches tall! I am trying my best to line up the shot with the same angle each time...sorry it's not quite right. But you can see the progression pretty easily in these shots.

I'm as corny as Kansas in August...

wait, that's not right. It's June, and we're in Alabama!

Progress: June 7, 15 and 22
