Lo, How the Corn is Growing

You'd think that after one full year of running the pumpkin patch, we would be able to easily improve upon that experience. Well, how quickly we forget that we are not in control. We are constantly reminded that we are at the mercy of nature and we have to trust that God will provide.

We took a walk through the corn maze today and took some pictures to show the areas that are "stunted". With the regular and often excessive rainfall we received this year, particularly in the beginning of the growing season, there are sections of the corn field that just didn't get a very good start.

Here you see the parts of the field where the corn is easily over the head of a person nearly 6 feet tall.

Then, in the same field, you see where the standing water really affected the growth of the corn.

We were really just kidding about the corn maze being perfectly proportioned for munchkins...now it's actually true!

The maze is still difficult and has an exciting new Wizard of Oz theme,

so we're confident you won't be disappointed!
