This is how I know it is time to go walkies, the top step by the red door is crowded with dogs.
They try desperately to appear patient but it is a losing game.
The Big Dog elected to stay on the porch though. He was a bit tired yesterday.
We walked South along the track above the creek (that is now a ditch.) Beside the corn.
We looked out to the horizon across the .. corn.
Then across the creek (that is now a ditch) to um.. more corn.
Then after a while we turned and walked back North. Past the .. ah.. corn. 
Well, you get the drift. Then we went past the farmy and around the corner and returned home down the north boundary through the .. well, through the .. corn.
Then we turned South and found our hay field. All green and we all made out respective YAY noises.
And home again, home again, jiggedy jig. No fat pig.
Have a lovely day.
Your friend on the farmy, celi

Although we live in a small village in Bulgaria, surrounded by fields of sunflowers znd sweet corn..there is no where that we can take the dogs..well not like you have.
There is always the danger of dogs being shot or getting caught in illegal traps that are set for foxes..so we mainly keep to the road where they can run freely and in safety….however there is one road which is completely grass where thry can have a good sniff. I envy you your beautiful own land where they can run in safety
I am so glad you have a little road to run them. it sounds dangerous to walk your dogs out there.. c
Yep, corn all around us also…except where we planted pinto beans. Now it is a field of bean straw just waiting to blow around and around and around!

our slow procession through the year.. c
C. this is one of the “corniest” posts I’ve to see yet! 🙂 ha! The wind blowing through the drying (corn) must sound so beautiful though! I love the one of Boo sitting in the green green grass with the yellow yellow (corn) in the background! What a contrast! How long do they leave the “corn” in the fields before they harvest?
Well, you have a “corny” day C. 🙂
That hay field is growing so fast, with the little bits or rain and lots of warm weather we are having.. c
Celi, your photographs may be full of corn, but they are beautiful. It was fun to see the Farmy from different perspectives as you went on your walk. We have rotations here, and I assume that you do too. So here we are in patches. Some corn, some cotton, some soy. All the fields are broken by creeks and large oaks. Soon it will all be winter wheat. I love the wheat that I can’t eat, because it greens the winter here!
your fields sound lovely, occasionally i see wheat but usually it is corn and beans – soy beans, all GM rotated yearly, in the winter there is nothing. Nothing but nothing.. forever and ever.. not looking forward to that.. c
Yes, ours are all GM and sprayed unto death (ours presumably). For now, there is the ginning of the cotton. I will not miss that smell when we move. (The gin is about 1.5 miles from here.)
For the longest time i thought the Gin was where Gin was made.. c
Ha! Don’t you often wonder how they come up with some names for things? Maybe I will look that one up…
Interesting. Ely Whitney invented it and called it a Cotton Engine. This was/is cumbersome to say and it got shortened to Cotton-gen. Now the process is called Genning cotton.

ah.. it all becomes clear! thank you lynda.. learning something every day.. c
It looks like a beautiful day 😉
Toasty warm and lovely lately.. cool nights – warm days.. beautiful alright.. c
Got no corn, got no cane, but boy do we have plenty of rain! 48 hours of it! The even had a mini tornado off the west coast of Ireland yesterday!
merciful heaven, a tornado in ireland.. 48 hours is a lot of rain.. c
After being brought up by a mountain, with hills always around me, I’d find it a very new experience to have such a stretchy horizon. Am going out of town now, heading for the wild west coast. See you in a couple of days.
Oh the wild west coast! I would come with you..
Lots of corn!
The daily view looks lush!
verdant! c
We have mostly corn and soybeans here too along with the occasional winter wheat. They are starting to chop the field corn now, open s up the view at least! No running through the corn, hate hate hate running into the spider webs – yukko!
Well, that was a lovely walk. Surrounded by corn. Hope Big Dog is feeling better today.
Your horizon photos are great! And, your daily view is so green!
It was just a few short weeks ago when that corn was a vibrant green. Now it’s yellowing more by the day. In Michigan, there’s also a lot of corn but there’s beans and sugar beets, too. I hope I can make it back there to take some pics of the sugar beet harvest. Soon there will be piles of them in the fields and mountains at the collecting area near the train depot. It is an incredible sight and I imagine it would be the same if all of the corn were picked and piled up in an area.
It’s late and I need to get a few things done yet before going to bed. Have a great morning & day, Celi.
We should grow sugar beets here.. they are an excellent feed for the cows… c
Mom & Dad used to travel the back roads, collecting the sugar beets that fell off the trucks and lay along the roadside. They used them to feed the deer over Winter. 🙂
I love the wide open spaces that you and your dogs can enjoy. Great pictures – especially the first one 🙂
jiggedy jig. No fat pig – I’m having that one !
