July 2005 - Knee High by the 4th

The good news is the corn that wasn't showing in May is green, healthy and knee high by the 4th of July. The bad news - for us - is that the corn is not the luscious sweet variety we can throw on the grill. 

This is our future campsite, a little overgrown at the moment, but full of potential. The firepit is off to the right with some logs for benches. Life at the farm is pretty rustic this first summer. 


The milking barn looks very clean on the inside,
but it wasn't that way in the beginning. We're guessing it hasn't been used in quite awhile because the floor was filled with manure. Nick was a good sport and shoveled it out. Poor Nick! The corn wasn't the only thing knee high by the 4th of July.
