The Harvest


It's harvest time at the farm.  Some things we have planted (corn and sunflowers).  Everything else we are discovering as it comes.  There is an orchard with at least 20 trees.  It's kind of like 'The Secret Garden' and we are in the process of clearing out the weeds and overgrown vegetation to discover what lies underneath.


Kirk's field of dreams (a.k.a. the corn patch) has given us lots of corn to eat and share.  The girls like the corn so much, they will munch on it raw while we are at the farm.  We planted yellow and red corn.  FYI... red corn looks interesting, but doesn't taste nearly as good as the yellow.


My 'frutarian' children love all of the fresh fruit and are great helpers when it comes time to pick.


  Plums, apples & pears from the fruit trees.



 And, after all of the work, there is time to play. 
Hannah has found a friend next door (Lindsey) who has horses... perfect!
