My Summer Skies with Breezes

Like sun & sand
Or air and land
The summer skies with breezes
I miss your eyes,
Your tender cries
And tucking you in at night.
All warm & cozy
Burrito rosy
Apart… brings so much aching
Belonging there with my little pair
To shelter, bless and keep you.
The land it groans when split
Together, you are it
And I, the land
Will take your hand
Together cross the barriers
Becoming…
Like sun & sand
Or air and land
The summer skies with breezes!

A..mazing Corn!!

The kids and I got some hot cocoa to warm up on a chilly nite before heading out to the corn maze. The corn was good! No, really, it was less claustrophobic than I had imagined it would be and this was disappointing as we were hoping to get a little lost, like you do on paper, only personally. Durham was a little scared of the dark even with the full moon shining on us like a lightbeam. Then when his Dad and he hid and jumped out at Bailie and I, he seemed to forget all about the dark and needing a flashlight. Dad told him it was funner to be the thing in the dark than to be scared of the thing in the dark. Bailie then decided that screaming that high-pitched shrill squeal of hers would be an excellent entertainment for the masses; this she did at intervals. We did hear horses hoofs pounding towards us at one point and that made the heart pump just a bit, but then it stopped, so this is how we made our way through the maze. We will try a different version of the corn maze next year. Bailie did decide that she needed to take a souvenir ear. So, to the people of the corn harvest: "I'm hungry and I appologize!"
