I was educated in NY public schools and have been trying to reeducate myself my whole adult life :) Grammar is not my strong point, nor is spelling. History is more my cup of tea. My wife is talented in grammar and spelling and between the two of us our kids might receive a decent education. As for the corn, we had a few changes to our plans this growing season for a number of reasons and didn't plant any of the Painted Mt corn. A freind in Rayville, Art, did have some and I think he planted it. I'll contact him at harvest and see how it did. You might still be able to save seed, depends on what growing day corn was in your feed. Perhaps there is enough difference that it won't cross. If not you could start a new breed! Garth Not offended at all, in fact if you called me "normal" then I'd be offended! I'm glad you enjoy the blog, and thank you for the kind words. Ginny

(Sorry, the old english teacher oozing out of me.) :-D It looks like the boys enjoyed themselves, in spite of being milked. When I was little, we went camping a LOT! I loved it, but I am done, now. How is your field corn? You had that multi-color heirloom, didn't you? I forget which one. Mine is doing okay, but I made a big mistake. I put the bedding from the chicken coop on the dirt and tilled it in before planting. Now some of the corn from dropped feed has germinated in with my corn. I'm glad that I use organic feed, but now I can't save my seed... Bummer. Well, I could save it, but I don't know what I would get. Live and learn. “after milking the older boys” (?)

You've got quite the arsenal! I know where to run to if we're ever attacked. I've definitely got to go gun shopping! I'm lagging far behind.... Fifteen firearms! You’ve got quite the arsenal!

"You’ve got three more than I!"......well actually I've got a few more than 3 more than you. Just did a quick count and came up with 15 firearms in the house that I can see. There might be more, never know. Of course thats not just rifles but includes shotguns and handguns. :) Hi Christine

The dogs might pick one up now and then but I've never had one on me. The no see ums are starting to get nasty but they didn't bother us too bad and that trip. Not to many skeeters yet this year, its been dry. Hi Pastor Tom

For sure, there is something most enchanting and comforting sitting around a crackling campfire in the woods in the dark of the night, where the embers fly up to meet the stars and the insects and frogs sing praises to God. Thanks for the encouraging post, I needed it. How are the ticks and “no see ums” in your neck of the woods?
