Gathering the Harvest


The combine came yesterday afternoon to harvest the corn. The boys have been looking for it for weeks now and were so concerned that it would show up while we were in the mountains and they'd miss it. But, no worries. Now they're all out tramping through the harvested rows in their boots gathering stray cobs to sell back to their daddy. Yet another treasured autumn tradition . . .

We went to a farm on Tuesday afternoon that had activities (maize, train, slides, swings etc) for kids play. One area was set up like a shallow large covered wagon with several inches of shelled corn. There were buckets, shovels and diggers. A big hit with some of the kids. Memories of playing in corn wagons/elevators as a kid for me. T
