MY, HOW THE CORN DOES GROW...

Earlier in the year I mentioned that Mike and I have leased Dad's Farm. We have been excited to see his farm grow corn for the first time that Dad can remember. Boy, did it grow corn!!! There were days when dad thought he could just sit and watch it rise higher and higher. We are getting pretty close to harvest, the lush green will turn to ugly brown; but it was worth everything to see Dad so happy with his farm.

How neat! Corn is such a pretty plant I think! I can't believe fall is almost here!

I know...you are totally amazed that I can now blog. I think it is awesome.
Just a little note about Mike and I. We met when we were in Kindergarten and it has been history since then. We graduated from High School in 1974 and we were married in 1976. We have 6 really great kids...not perfect, but great. Jake is 32 yrs. old, Jared is 30, Chase is 28, Meghann is 27, Todd is 23 and Tara is 22 yrs. old. We have been very busy. Not only have we raised kids, but we have raised lots of alfalfa hay. We are farmers at heart. We own about 600-700 acres of ground that we produce either hay, grain or corn. It has been a good lifestyle to raise a large family like ours.
As of now, we have added three beautiful new daughters, and two great sons. Only Jake is not married. We have been blessed with 6 darling granddaughters. We really believe that grandchildren are worth enduring your own kids.
