The (almost) Last of the Corn...

Early this morning found the girls and I outside husking corn. When all was said and done this batch yielded 21 quarts. I think I have a total of 44 quarts. YEAH!

Abigayle was 'helping".

I found a caterpillar ( corn boar?) on a piece of corn. Abrianna gladly claimed it as hers. "Mommy! Do caterpillars talk?" she innocently inquired. "Yes, in caterpillar language." A few seconds later, excitedly, "Mommy the caterpillar talked to me and it said it wuves me !  I WUVE the caterpillar!"
Later mister caterpillar was joined by his brown brother in a jar and are gnawing a less than ideal piece of corn in an old pickle jar.
