Now that it's close to fall, our car rides to and from Omaha are filled with farm vocabulary (and of course a million questions).....harvest, corn, soybeans, combines, feed corn, eatin' corn, corn hair, John Deere.....and on and on.
About the 4th of July we noticed a single ear of corn sprouting out of Grandma and Pop's flower pot. Maggie has been checking on that ear all summer. Finally, Thursday was Harvest Day! Maggie was thrilled. She told me she "took the cob off the wheat" all by herself. And that it was "feeding corn not eating corn". Obviously our farm knowledge needs a little perfecting. The corn is now sitting on our fence post and she is really hoping a deer will eat it.
