Canine's of the Corn!!


The corn is starting to come out!!! I took the dogs out this morning to grab a quick picture before Alan and Michael got back into the fields! There's corn all around us this year. The fields that surround our house have been on continuous corn rotation for the 4th straight year now. Alan rotates between corn and beans. I really appreciate this as the bean fields are much nicer to ride in this time of year than the corn fields.

Overall, the corn is a much prettier plant than the soy bean. Corn remains attractive from the little sprouts in May, until harvest. It has attractive coloring and textures that make it interesting to look at. Beans are pretty too, but this time of year they look like a bunch of brown pipe cleaners just waiting for the strike of a match!

Below are a couple pictures of Alan and Michael.
Well, you can only see Alan. G




Whenever I take the camera outside, the ponies feel the need to put on a show. Don't ask me why! They are ponies, it's cool outside, there are tractors across the road, let's act CRAZY!!!

Here's Saphira trying to figure out why I'm lining the dogs up in the corn.
"Are people stupid or what?" Of course, "Dogs aren't much brighter!!"

Here comes ADAM!!!
He doesn't want to be left out!!

I told you they get silly.
Apparently Adam wants me to know that he still has all four shoes on!!!
GOOD BOY Adam!!

Ask Adam & Saphira if they would like to pull a wagon to help harvest corn the old-fashioned way. Bill could drive it. Tammy could walk along side and throw the ears in.

I've been meaning to post what great pics you have recently. I love the one with the pups in the pumpkins. Perfect. And the Canine's of the Corn was perfect timing. Nice.
