It is the season of Miracles, you know! And one happened for us….we were able to go ahead and deliver the truck load of high moisture corn…we had to have it at the dairy this morning at 4:30 so it could be ground before the feed trucks rolled in. Not a problem!
Moisture is high still so we will wait, better waiting than to have another situtation…snow is due here this evening.
We sure have lots of cranes or blue herons this year. I can’t really tell what they are, but I enjoy hearing them and watching them land in the corn fields at night.
They’ve sort of run the Canada geese off and taken over the sweet corn fields. That being the way of things the geese flap on over to our corn fields. Both groups are very talkative so for some time the evening air is full of bird chatter.
Then if you get up at night to check on things (ever since the large predator visits I go out to check on our animals) you can hear the birds moving around getting a little more comfortable. I enjoy hearing them.
It might be after Christmas before these stalks are gone. What a unusual year this has been. But it is working out.
See ya on Sunday!

Last year we didn’t get our crops in until the first week of December. This year, we were done the middle of October. It’s crazy!

I have had you guys on my mind so much these last few weeks. So happy to hear that the corn thing is finally working out in your favor. What an ordeal!
The picture you just posted of the sunset on the corn is so beautiful. So pretty, in fact, that I’m going to save it as my wallpaper on my laptop.
Have a wonderful Christmas season. Let’s get together again in the spring. Maybe we can come and help plant. We would love that!

I’m glad you were able to sell that truck load of corn. I hope you won’t have to wait too long to get the rest of your corn in.

Well–I’m glad you got rid of that corn you had from yesterday. What is there—ONE field left to harvest???? Little by little—things are working out for you.. But-I’m sure it’s hard to be patient and have to put up with the weather…
Beautiful pictures of the BIG birds!!!
Hugs,

Beautiful shots, we are awaiting the sandhill cranes in Tennessee, they winter there. What large predators are stakling the area? Coyotes or mountain lions perhaps..:-)

I love birdsong. There is hardly a sound in the world that cheers me more. I heard a few of them this morning when I went outside to sweep off the back porch. Filled me with simple joy.
