There goes the corn...

Well...it's pretty clear that we won't have a sweet corn crop from the garden this year.

By using our trail camera, it's also pretty clear who the culprit is........or is it?

The Taller They Are, The Harder They Fall

Today Jason and I were inside the house and heard an incredible crash. We threw on our boots and jumped on the 4-wheeler to search out the cause. We found this oak along with 4-5 trees it took down with it laying across our ravine. This old tree was around 80 feet tall and 80 inches around.

This week we’ve had heavy storms with lots of rain and high winds but today there was barely a breeze. It fell from its base which was filled with a large colony of ants, we don’t know if the rot or the ants came first.

Along with friends, we’ve camped down in that area many times and I’m so thankful that we weren’t down there when it finally decided to fall. We’re going to leave the main body of the oak across the ravine until next season to dry out. Plus it makes a great bridge!

Maybe it’s true… an ant can move a rubber tree plant.

Red Sky at Night

You can never capture all the spender of a sunset in a photo but of course, I had to try.

We've had a ton of storms going through our area recently. Way too much rain, but it makes for a beautiful evening sky.

Musta been a long night...

We found this little guy taking a snooze in one of our trees one morning. Didn't seem to notice us walking underneath with our dog Jake panting and making noise. We went back a couple hours later and he was gone.
