Canned corn yesterday. Neighbor Jeremy and I shucked, my wife and our friend Karen boiled, cut, and canned, and our eldest daughter helped wherever needed. Jeremy’s oldest son pitched in, too. The two younger tots helped by keeping themselves occupied in the yard, in the wading pool, and by keeping their battles to a minimum. It was a good day, everyone busy around the place, the sun out, the grass green. A rooster crow now and then. Good to have friends and neighbors as we do.
Let the chickens out this morning to a pile of trimmed cobs, they went nuts. Kernel flecks flying every which way.
