| being watched |
Before I start on the end of yesterday, today a rather LARGE truck arrived next door to pick up the tree trunk left from yesterday's entertainment. Yes, I watched it being loaded. Yes, it was fun watching. If people can't find fun in some notsoeveryday stuff, I don't care. I can.

| mom trying to find a good one |
Yesterday afternoon the girls trekked to
Marini Farm in Ipswich to buy pumpkins. Actually it was my mom that wanted to buy two, then 'A' decided she needed one as well. I like Marini Farm. It's just a cool place with good food and yes, entertainment. The corn maze is now open and I expect 'A' and I will traipse through it again this year. Maybe I'll even take my camera so that you can see what it's like to be lost in a corn field. This year should be better than last...we now know how the 'game' part of it works for 'collecting' rewards, so to speak.

We're talkin' serious Children of the Corn horror-movie stuff now! I'm gonna worry about what terrors confront you and A. in the maze until you tell us both of y'all survived....
Ooooh, it's so sad that you watched the tree-lopping continue. You're giving the nutball neighbor something to talk about, anyway. I bet you're entranced by small, shiny objects, too!
ehhhh, she wasn't even home.
I'm going to have to check the schedule for times for the maze. We prefer weekdays even though it's only after school hours...fewer people...easier to get lost!
Jan (California) has been talking about a 'Corn Maze'. It's got me wondering. Corn field here are only about 3 feet deep so I guess you are meaning what I call 'Sweetcorn' or 'Corn-on-the-Cob'.
However I have never come across a maze in the corn. Does the farmer plant it that way? Or is it trampled down later?
How high is the corn? Can you see over it?
Just curious. :)
What amazing photographs, straight out of a Grimms fairy tale!
Yes, Bernard, it's sweet corn. Planted as normal in rows covering very large fields. After picking, instead of cutting down the entire field of stalks, a maze is cut/plowed under into it. I'll publish the details of this one after we've done it!
Is the corn as high as an elephant's eye yet?
Asian or African?
I dunno...which kind lives in Oklahoma?
I'm thinking Ali, the Persian, brought 'em over...so Asian.
