Yesterday was a day devoted to corn. You cannot live in Iowa and not appreciate good corn! I'm just lucky enough to have a brother-in-law & sister-in-law who planted the best variety of sweetcorn ("Coon's Delight") in the state, not to mention, an enormous patch of corn... with sharing in mind! How generous!!!
The timing worked out well, because I had to bring neice Lydia back to the grandparents yesterday, and the girls all wanted to spend time with their other cousin, Rebekah, who was already at grandma's and grandpa's.
So, we headed up the truck and we mozied on over to Washington...Iowa, that is. Tall corn. Rolling hills.
"We're ready!"
Corn Picking 101
Aunt Carmen gives a lesson in finding ripe ears of corn and how to pick them.
I didn't take any pictures of us shucking the corn. It went really fast, because all five girls helped Carmen, Grandpa, Ryan and me. We sang "Happy Birthday" to Grandpa during that time. He asked a good question..."What will you be doing 10 years from now?"
From field to mouth! Mmmm!
