Shredding corn stalks.

I also had some visitors that came out of the corn

while my father-in-law was combining.

They had a grand ol' time running around in the that field.
Just thought I would share some more pictures from the field. The picture above shows the difference between the stalks.

The ones on the left are not shredded,

the ones on right are.


Dan got a "new toy" on the farm. It's a stalk shredder. When corn is being combined, it's cut off a few inches from the ground. Because of the type of corn planted the stalks don't "break down" very well during the winter.

This machine cuts just above the dirt using very sharp knives. This rips the stalks apart enough that come spring time, it's not so hard to get the field ready.

Happy Halloween!

I know these are late, but I sent out
Halloween cards this year.
I only made a few since I didn't have alot of time
while doing sugar beets and then getting
sick on top of everything.

The stamps and gems are from Archiver's,
and the paper is from StampinUp!.
I also used the spider web Cuttlebug folder for
added dimension.

Isn't he getting big!

Just thought I would share some pics of Midnite.
He's getting quite big and likes to drink out of the faucet
in the bathtub. He manages to get all wet, but
cleans himself up pretty quick.

This is our new kitty: Midnight

I'm not sure if I shared with you earlier, but we have
a new addition to the house. This is Midnight.
He comes in the house during the day when I am home and
is let out while we are not home. He really likes his blanket and
boxnext to the computer.
