A Good Summer


All around us, in field after field, the corn looks fabulous. 


Ditto the soybeans... there are hundreds of acres in soybeans in Leavenworth County. 
The weather has been very, very good to the farmers this year, after two years of crops totally burning up. 


My Walmart petunias did GREAT this year... they have spilled over their planters, 
and they smell so good!  Only now are they starting to show some wear. 


I'll try to coordinate them a little better next year, so that the white is in the front on both. 


And I know everyone is sick of looking at these planters, but gosh... they have exceeded expectations. 


And then there's THIS! 

This is our lone volunteer corn cob. 

Didn't get pollinated, did it???
Still.. it was an interesting experiment! 

With the abundance of sweet corn coming in around here, 
there is no need to grow our own... so we will just enjoy nature's bounty.
