hello! sharing a quick card. that sun just makes me smile =)
been busy getting things ready for my sister's baby shower. made the invites and sent those out. now, i'm working on the decorations. here is a sneek peek at the fabrics i'm using for a flag banner. plan to hang this at the shower and perhaps, my sister will want to hang this in the baby's room after.
wednesday, we got together with one of brandon's classmates and went to the farm.
they were having free wagon rides and pick-your-own-corn day (79 cents each).
farmer kenny telling us how to pick corn and how they grow their corn. he told us that they can chop off the tops for us IF we didn't want to see the worm on the top. WORM???? apparently, when they grow corn there, they place a worm egg on the top, the stalks grow over it and as it grows, it secretes some sticky liquid to seal off the corn to prevent pests, bugs, ants and other things from getting into the corn. i am sure i am not explaining it completely correct but it's something like that! it's an organic method. kenny's grandfather owned the farm who passed it on to his father (kenny's).
here are the boys picking their corn. best part was that we could eat anything there---as many corns as we could while at our stop. raw corn is especially sweet & yummy! we had 1 [or 2]!
brybry said, 'farming is hard work'! yes it is and we thank all the farmers who work so hard to grow us food that we don't even think twice about before we eat!
the tractor wheel pulling our wagon. (BTW, brybry dressed himself---black socks and all!)
we also got to stop off to pick tomatoes.
has anyone ever tried a yellow watermelon? they grow those there too and we got to sample some at the end of our trip. SO SWEET!! try it if you haven't! you will be pleased!
finally, from my post
