Sweetcorn daze

Wyatt helping get the husks and silks off
Papa and boys husking. Preparing for winter eating. Oh and the back end of sadie. She enjoyed some young ears.





corny times

Wyatt in the sweetcorn patch..Where are you papa???
A tired,sweaty,hot boy.

Caught Tanner helping himself to college cheese..cottage.


Gr Gma Carol cutting with 2 still boys. How did that happen?



Great Gpa Jack cutting. Had them working while i took pics..





Hubby running the outdoors process of blanching the ears amidst the toys. A slick way to do corn which we will repeat. OUTSIDE. worked especially well to cool the eats in the coolers with cold well water running over it..and watered the sod at the same time.

I am LEARNING how to paint.

Some things about us are best kept hidden in the closet!! Maybe closets are a good place to learn but they are tight places to turn around without getting into the paint now and then.

13th wed. and not friday the 13th

What a day. Pool guy here to detect leaks in a leaking pool. 2 hours. aha..detect a soggy wall and find 3 leaks. probly from when Brandy went swimming a month ago.. Brandy is not our dog. I like her but her days here are going to be on a chain or not out of sight. I left her tied and went to do some errands. Returned to an untied dog doing laps in the pool today..AFTER the pool guy had patched. I LEFT HER TIED when I left. Call to the other person who lives here...ummohhuummmaaahhhh...I pulled her out of the pool..60 pounds of lab. Marched her over to where her chain is and talked to her meanly and have not inspected the pool..I do not want to...sigh..wahhhhh..

The one crew member siding house today got stung by a bee and needed to leave.. I do hope he is alive..he was rather swelling up quickly..got him on the upper lip but both lips were puffy. YIKES

Computer man was here today also..earlier hail damage on the cable..as long as they are residing they put in new cable now to go under the siding..he was here 3 hours.

and some things about us we keep hidden in the closet from others...haha

OH NO I was going to download a couple of pics to show what i keep hidden..and no removeable disk E to get them..
Computer guy ..whyyyyy me????? today???

well if the other person who lives here can help me out I will do another post after this.
Meanwhile as I write this I can feel my blood pressure slowing down a little...but the sky is nasty dark and sky is grumbling and I hate storms and sure hope if it gets here it does no DAMAGES. and I hope the dog who is tied to the clothes line doesn't get hammered by hail.

49th anti aging botanicals


Shannon got her mom some anti aging botanticals and miss happy pants bath salts this year. The bottle is still full . wonder if I can get refills if it works.? sure feel older than I did in June!
Many changes on the remodeling progress. New siding is currently being installed ..part time electrician Vernon has put some exterior lights on.
Kitchen uppers are in minus the doors. Wood work is ready to go up as well as new doors Laundry room is in the process of being painted. Thanks to my dad! I will attempt this closet as I can close the doors to hide that..but who ever heard of an empty closet really.
We have a leak in the swimming pool and cannot seem to find where it is so the pros are coming to check that out sometime today too.
$$$TOO MUCH$$$ being used this summer. But ya do what ya gotta do sometimes.
Went on a 4wheeler ride lastnight and we saw deer deer and more deer..and mucho evidence of the out corn rows chomped off. well fed.as well as 15 in a bean field chomping away. when prices are up you dont wanna do the math of those losses.
