07.18.2004 :: Summer fun
Summertime, Summertime, Sum-Sum-Summertime!
It's finally here. Here in the Northeast US, it took long enough. I sat on my porch for the first time last night, with the citronella candle flickering, the crickets chirping. This is what it's all about!
But it's also about this!
The first Corn on the Cob of the season!
And believe me, it won't be the last!
Once the corn is ready, I hit the farmstand once a week. One cannot get too much corn or fresh tomatoes, beets, green beans. Oh, my mouth is watering! Our growing season is just too short not to enjoy every blessed moment of it! And, as a bonus, I have to do none of the work! Weeds? Who's got em? Watering? Picking? not me~ I just pay on my way out!
After the rain:
Look up in the sky!
If you look closely, you can see a faint double rainbow on top! I looked, but I could not locate the pot of gold! Drat it! Imagine the cashmere purchases!
Corn on the Cob and Rainbows. Can life get any better?

Oh, Sandy, you're really making me homesick! I would do anything for some good corn-on-the-cob!

Corn on the cob ... yum! Now you've got me feeling like some. :)
Sandy, where you having a scarf knit along? I keep running into scarf knit a long buttons, which lead to your old page, which changes to this page.

Your killing me! I love corn, but I am on Atkins and corn is a big no no. This is like chocolate to me. UGH!
I truly am happy that you can enjoy. : )
