I Love Where We Live
Big sky’s, blue mountains, the sun, the moon, the rain, growing things….what more could a person ask for?
On Our Way to the Baths
Life is just so much fun, especially if you can take a daily bath, sometimes a bath or two, or maybe just a wallow in the dirt.
The River Has Run Dry
Just as the Rubidoux does every year, the river runs dry. I am sure this is why the little log house started to fall is disrepair. (See earlier post)
A Summer Afternoon Activity
Since Terry retired he finally has some leisure in his days. Ahhhh, setting under the canopy playing a game, nice!
The Beans are Pulled
The beans are pulled and rowed, they will stay this way until all the leaves and weeds dry up. The stems of the beans have to dry to a certain point before the combine can come in.
Corn-Field Corn-Picking Corn-Feed Corn…..
Just like anything living, corn also has oddities in its lineage. This corn ear decided to grow on the top of the stalk, in place of one of the tassels.
Corn is food for deer, but not like food for you and I. Deer love to eat the silk. They will eat the kernels too, but yummm, they LOVE the silk!
The love to eat the silk just as the little kernels are forming, of course, that kills the ear. This ear has withered on the stalk from Deer munching silk.
This is the new variety of corn Terry grew this year.
Life on the Ditchbank
Lots of animals walk along the ditch bank….
….coyotes, dogs, birds of all sorts, 
our cats,
and (sometime feral cats), sometimes the cows get out
and raccoons.
Third Cutting of Hay
And a storm rolls in……….
September Corn
It won’t be long now. Harvest is just around the corner. The ears are full and fat, when the kernels dent, and the ears turn down, harvest will begin.
