Ears of Corn on the stalk

Your eyes do not deceive you! The corn is, in fact, developing ears, and the tallest stalks are to my shoulders. This is less of an accomplishment than it sounds when you know how tall I am. There were just enough foggy days in August that I was doubting the corn’s ability to get it together, and was quite impressed when ears appeared. We shall see if they actually develop, or if they give up the ghost before they get there.
