Tree Corn?

We seem to have an abundance of squirrels that nest in our trees and run in the neighborhood. So, it should not be any surprise to us that we find random stalks of corn growing around our property, as the squirrels are really good at nabbing corn cobs from the neighbors garden during harvest time.

We recently found a corn stalk growing underneath the slide, and I am pretty sure there are some in the hostas.

This last weekend as we were playing outside, Adam looked up in one of our trees and said, "What is THAT?" Upon closer inspection, we noticed that it was a stalk of corn. Sure enough, a squirrel had dropped a precious kernel of corn into the "Y" of one of our big maples, and there grew a corn stalk.
