Wednesday Walk - Corn Harvest

We walked at a farm for this #wednesdaywalk by @tattoodjay

They brought out the draft horses and an old fashioned wagon to go to the corn field. This is a historic farm where they still do things the old way.

Anyone who visits can opt in to harvesting the dried out corn from a few fields nearby.

We were here to walk our toddler and have a playdate with another family's toddlers.

In between corralling kids I was able to snap a few random shots like this huge wasp nest. This is a bald faced hornet nest and they all die off during the winter but the queen hibernates then lays enough eggs to start a new nest in spring.

Fall is starting to really show around here, the red maples are of course the first to change. Eventually everything will be yellow soon.

I saw these cranes dancing in the horse pasture. I'm sure they are going to visit the corn fields too for any stray kernels. More on them here @sketch.and.jam/crane-dance

They have a few animals here too like this smaller pig.

My daughter was really impressed by the chickens eating a piece of pumpkin. They were too busy eating and she was finally able to pet one.

The baby calf is now half grown. Last time we came here it had just been born.

As usual the sheep are begging to be petted. They are quite matted. I suspect sheering won't happen until next spring since they'll need their wool for winter.

That's all for now, thanks for looking :-)
