Harvesting Corn, Lily, and Bubbled Double Nine Patch

Life … on the farm

Quinten gets the combine ready for the day.

Cutting corn and unloading it into a grain cart.

Bronson and Gabriel hauled the corn away as fast as Quinten could cut it.

Ashton loved riding with Gabriel for a while.

Uh-oh! Problems in the wiring harness.

The ground is gradually turning red from the bees wings of the corn kernels.

After a windy day there was actually a drift of bees wings on the east side of the shop.

Paul gave the neighbors a ride after a hard day’s work.


… as a Quilter

Today I fixed up my mobile design walls in preparation for Saturday’s “Lily” Workshop in Starkville.

Corn Day

Last Saturday our day began in Phillip K’s corn patch, filling buckets with Incredible sweet corn.

Even the younger children helped.

Sugar Brix and Earl & Gina’s Wedding

Life …
Quinten brought in a corn stalk and chopped a small section from it to …

… test the sugar brix in the juice to see if the nutrients are readily flowing.

After looking into the little scope he said, “not too good!”

Corn Day

I was so glad for all the help we could get.


Sheila was glad to have corn for her freezer too.

Dustin & Sheila have quite the interesting conversations.

We put up 80 - 90 pints.

Paul and Dustin stuck with us until it was all done.

Talya did well and was easy to care for.
