CORN, PEACHES, AND BLUEBERRIES

We took the kids over to my parents' farm in Cairo to pick some corn, peaches and blueberries. They own 250 acres that is leased out to a farmer.

This year the corn he planted is an improved Silver Queen variety. It is the best corn I have ever tasted! It is so sweet and creamy that you don't have to add any butter to it.

We had a little competetion between the kids to see who could collect the most ears of corn in five minutes and my son Jacob won with 25! Now we have corn coming out of our ears!
After this we went over to a friend's house who has a pool and sat beside the pool and shucked all the corn. After we got all hot and sticky with corn juice we jumped into the pool and cleaned off.

My daughter Caroline collected peaches. As for the blueberries; they were so good that they all got eaten before they could make it in the house.
