Corn corn and more corn...

There comes a time every summer when my life consists of corn, sunburn, corn, blisters, beanpoles, corn rash, mud, sunburn, sunburn, blisters, and sunburn. Yup that pretty much covers it, oh wait did I say sunburn, yeah? Good.
Well I'm a little sad to say that time of summer has past for me. Yup my job in the field is done, and all too soon for my taste. Oh well. I'm still feeling the affects on my crispy shoulders. And did you know wearing duct tape on your skin can result in itchy red bumps. Yeah. It's gross.
Oh well, back to life I suppose...

Well before I start telling you about today's happenings I just wanted to tell you that I've started working in the corn. Started on Monday actually. I'm so happy, and tired. Best. Job. Ever.



Any who, allow me to show you are semi yard ornament we had today...









Yeah Dad got a ton of sand that was delivered today. But it rained all night last night and most of the morning so the ground was too soft and apparently this is what happens when you drive a semi on wet ground.



They tried to dig it out... but that didn't work. So after digging a trench in the middle of our yard the truck driver call his brother too come pull him out with his bobcat.






"Oh yeah this is going to work, we'll just wrap a chain around that and we'll pull you right out."




Look at them just standing around watching one guy do all the work.


Well pulling from the front didn't work so the went around and pulled it out from the back.
Which worked great!



But apparently that was just too easy for the truck driver, so he drove the truck right back into the whole.

I kid you not.

So they chained the bobcat back up and pulled it out again. This time he stayed out. Thanks mister bobcat man you saved our yard.


What's left of it anyway.

Ages...

It's been ages,
I know,
It's been ages,
But you never right,
You never call,
And I begin to wonder,
Have you missed me at all?

So many things to do,
so many places to go,
I've had no time for you,
And this has been my woe.

And that's my sad attempt at poetry. :)

Now let's see where to begin on what's been happening... After a lovely visit with my sister and brother in law (lovely except for the fact I was ill half the time.) My life was pretty mush consumed by farmer's markets, gardening, painting, thunderstorms, power outages, another cold (I thought you were only suppose to get sick in the winter??) and now I'm nursing the sun burn of the century.

Well there you have it. I got on planning to write this super long post about every thing that's been going on, but I think I wrapped it all in a pretty neat nut shell there. :D

It's a good thing too I got pies in the oven waiting to come out!
