The Seasons: A Poem

Posted by on
Sunrise over Amazing Grasses Family Farm The mad Artist wields His brush, Painted colors rush, To life and give flush, Before the quiet autumn hush. The life seems to pour, As colors fall to the floor, To be seen no more, Outside the dark, grey door. Brightness from below, Sun upon the snow, High, cold clouds blow, Flakes and ice appear to grow. The man melts with little seen, Underneath, pale, grey green, Hides life in dark unseen, Waits for warmth and to careen. Buds on branches show, Patience starts to grow, Trickles, streams and veins flow, Bringing fruits of melted snow. Sprung to life it springs, Bees, birds, sound rings, Lush green flings, Its gift bounty brings. Green growth gives one last rush, Underneath the Painter's brush. The mad Artist wields His brush, before the quiet autumn hush. More poetry is available from James M. Hahn in  The Last Dragon and Other Poems  available now.

Busy Buzzy Day

Posted by on
It was a busy day at the Hahn ranch today. Since the heat index was scheduled to be around 110 degrees we decided to get some work done early. Nicole took the boys next door to my parent's house to pick green beans. The picked about five gallons of beans and it translated to about 3 gallons of beans which we later froze. I stayed home and picked corn. My fears of the dreaded corn smut were unfounded. I picked another 4 dozen ears and we froze all of that as well. It looks as though we'll probably get another 6 to 8 dozen before all is said and done. While I was pulling the corn and throwing it in the wagon I took some time to watch the bees working in the corn tassells. Bees amaze me and I would love to start keeping them. If there are any bee keepers reading I'd love to hear from you. Anyway, here are some pictures I took of these awesome little creatures. Enjoy.





We have hundreds of sunflowers planted beside our house and by the garden. This picture was taken beside the house. I hope to post more pictures when the rest begin opening up.
