Just one day later
When I went out to get the mail a couple of hours ago, I noticed it. That corn is starting to tassel! So of course I had to head back to the house for the camera to document it. (You'd better REALLY appreciate it, Mark... 'cause it was 94° out!) Here's the proof:
While I was at it, I snapped this field of alfalfa. The windrows were turned over this morning to aid in drying, so hopefully it'll be ready to bale (without rain, mind you!) tomorrow.
Here's another field that hasn't been turned yet:
(Hmmm... why didn't I crop off that mucky cattle yard? Oh, well... too lazy to do it now.)
It's been miserably HOT and HUMID for the last week. But, in case you didn't notice, I've refrained from whining about it on the blog. It's been awful, but not as whine-worthy as last winter. ;)
Oh, and remember my plains coreopsis that I showed you last Friday? The heat has taken its toll and matured it (and a lot of other things) way too fast. This is what it looks like this afternoon:
Guess there'll be plenty of seeds for next year's garden, huh? Eek.

Meanwhile, back at the daycare
Shhhh, everyone! It's nap time! All the children are lined up, snug in their beds, each one on his or her tummy, sound asleep. No doubt the best part of a daycare provider's day! :)
Occasionally an aide comes in who's not very handy at the job. What a world of difference that makes. Here's Josie, doing her best.
Unfortunately, Josie's "best" frustrates Miss Courtney considerably... especially when she insists on crawling under the blankets with the children. It's just so hard to get good help nowadays!

This just in...
The latest corn update, taken moments ago:
This isn't the same spot she stood in for the photo two weeks ago (Mark will be observant enough to know that already). I did take a picture there, but it didn't turn out well. Because of our horrendous humidity, the camera lens had fogged up. This spot has taller corn so looks nicer, anyway. ;)
All the rain, heat and humidity does make the corn grow!
Boo Hoo works its wonders
I'm sure you've all been wondering (yeah, right) how well the Boo Hoo Owls work on boo-boos. Here we have a little demo.
Photo #1: Boo Hoo being applied to bump on the leg.
Photo #2: Pain relieved in seconds, and smile returns!
See? Don't you wish YOU had a Boo Hoo Owl?
