Well, we worried early in the summer about losing our corn to racoons, deer, rabbits, birds, hail, or wind,. Did I miss anything? This morning we finished picking the last of the crop which wasn't hit by any of the above. So our 8 - 30 foot rows of corn produced 70 - 1 cup bags frozen and 44 bottled pints. Plus what we've eaten or given away to neighbors...so our corn crop was blessed!!!! As are we! This is really good corn called ambrosia, a supersweet variety...mmmmmm good. We are just about to sit down to some BLT sandwiches. We won't have enough tomatoes to can, but they are sure good.David and Kris have been here this weekend and so they helped the old folks get the corn taken care of....thank you.We are thinking about a trip to Otto on Monday to see the newly cleared place.
