I can't believe it is Autumn!

This was the Hopi Blue Corn at the beginning of the summer. It has reached over my head by three or four feet. (It isn't hard to be taller than my small five foot stature!). Yesterday I was harvesting the rest of it before Mister Bear got his greedy paws on it. He has been in at the Guineas as well as helping himself to the corn. It took Dylan a long time and much persuasion, with a sling shot, a horn and the flashlight, to get him to move along the other night! The Guineas had a very stressful night, they all scattered into the trees, the north, field up to the house and along the road to get away from the marauding bear. In the morning I heard the father Guinea (Jesus el Diablo P Morgan) calling to everyone. Out from under bushes, and off our roof where the solar panels are, came the poor little ones. All fifteen of the keets and both parents made it. So time to harvest the corn.
We have been having glorious sunny days with cold nights but the days are getting shorter and there is sooo much to be done.
Dylan just came in to say the water, to sterilize the straw for Oyster Mushrooms, has reached temperature... so I'll have to catch up with all our summer activities in another post soon.
