The mini blue corn cobs were finally ready to harvest! I don’t think I fully grasped just how mini they would be when I planted them 😂 Hung them up to dry so we can hopefully make popcorn in a few weeks

Heard the strangest sound in the yard the other day and was excited to see a cute Downy Woodpecker making a home for themselves. A nice spot to set up camp for the winter. #downywoodpecker #woodpecker #backyardbirds #birdwatching #newhampshirewildlife #birds #newhampshire

Remembering May of 2022 when we had a nest of Robins in our front yard. Unfortunately the story did not have a happy ending but understanding that this is how the circle of life works. If nothing else they still brought us joy while they were here and were grateful to have closure.
