We put corn away.
Before I met Dan, I didn't know what that meant.
But it is common lingo for us around here now.
Every year in mid July the sweet corn patch is brimming with fresh corn.
And we are blessed to enjoy it fresh, 2 weeks or so...then we put away corn for the winter.
In the freezer.
The process is really not to bad, and we love having it for the winter months.
It is important for kids to learn these traditions, so we include them
*every* no knvies step of the way!
Last year Uncle Ed purchased this deluxe corn brush and it is sweet!
It cleans the silks right off and makes that step so much faster.
Daddy was at work, but this makes 4 generations, I heart that.
Machine was made by some country folk to be used by other country folk...read the label!
It says machine will grab hair, ponytails or pigtails...how cute
And we made a trip to grandma's garden while the corn was cooling
to pick some green beans, enjoy one of the first ripe tomatoes and a couple green peppers.
Thank you Lord for the bounty of a full garden
and a day with our toes in the dirt.
