Processing… Sweet Corn
Honestly, I’m not certain when I was old enough to notice my family and our sweet corn freezing process. Only that we have done it all the years we have been farmers. Technically Dad became a farmer when I was 5, but Papaw Freddy was always a farmer at heart. So it would seem forever.…

Hoosiers… and their Sweet Corn
Our neighbors dropped us off some sweet corn this afternoon. Talk about a surprise and trying to find out how we can work it up really fast. Mom was the one who answered the door to him and like the green beans from last year he gave us quite a load of work. Work, we…

Leisure Reading with Lincoln and Douglass

Perhaps though for tonight, I will start with last night and the other thing that happened before my few minutes and goodnight words with my boyfriend. There was a Christmas Party in the…

December Craziness
There’s so much to share and recently not enough time to digest my experiences and thoughts. Saturday was our day for reflection on what happened to our nation on December 7, 1941, Pearl Harbor Day. Since our landslide Election in November, that Red Tide has been happening. To this day four nearly 5 years ago…
