Things That Happen Overnight

The title may not make sense to you, but it does to me.
I left the house for work one day, came home that night, and we had our mailbox finished.
Emerson has been growing like a weed - seems like overnight, he keeps getting bigger and bigger.  The little shirt he has on says 'Grandpa's Sidekick'.  He's almost outgrown it already.
And our green beans - literally doubled in size overnight.  It's like, we water them at 6:00 one night, and the next day, after some sunshine, they have doubled.  Del says we should have beans to harvest in a few weeks.  Holy Moly, that's exciting to me.
Always a touch of disappointment though...Dang our chickens, they're eating our corn stalks!!!  They eat the bugs everywhere else in the garden, but then they get to the rows of corn and are like 'plowing them down'.  We're going to have to figure something out for next year, although I do get the biggest kick watching Del flap his arms all over the place chasing them through the rows of corn.  He makes for the best Scarecrow!!
