Making Progress

We received a lot of rain on Saturday night.  The thunder and lightening was very scary.  We discovered yesterday that lightening hit a nearby tree and one of our neighbor's homes.

All that heavy rain also pounded all that land the Kernel had tilled for us.  This made it harder to get the next batches of corn planted.  But we did it!  We planted the last of the 14 types we tried to pre-start weeks ago:  Squaw, Strawberry, Heirloom Indian, and Lady finger.

We are very thankful that our Pop wanted to celebrate Father's Day helping us in the corn field.  We also managed to play a little baseball.  That was fun!

The Kernel gave us some green fencing to use -- "Deer deterrents," he said. We're glad it's not something that could hurt the deer.

There is another storm on it's way for tonight. We can already hear the thunder in the distance. And more rain is forcasted for tomorrow.  We hope to beat the rain and get another four types of corn planted ASAP.  But first we need to count all the seeds
