When We are Handed Corn...

A man in his 80's has been coming to our home for many many years giving us produce, he bought, for free!  His hospitality has highly blessed our family. 

Just this morning he gave us 66 ears of corn!

So, much of today, Mommy, Tabitha, and I have husked, blanched, chopped, and froze them all.
Actually, Mommy and Tabitha did the husking and left me to do the rest- which, to be honest, I was highly excited to do it all.

Sometimes we find worms eating the corn cobs and this time I was pretending to eat them. Then I took a picture of me pretending to 'just for the fun of it", so I have decided to put it up here.  Yeah, I am odd sometimes, lol!
No, I didn't actually eat it- I prefer my bugs cooked. ; )

 Here are the "Happy Huskers":

When corn is done being blanched, then place them in ice cold water immediately to cool them off fast. The hot ones float until they get cold- then they sink. 

Then cut the sides off the corn off. (Then you take the knife up again through the left-over kernels to get all off. I didn't take a picture of it though, which I should have because that would have been helpful. *sigh*)

So, here I was taking pictures of them working...
"Tabitha, will you take some pictures of me working, so it doesn't seem like I am doing nothing but taking pictures?"
Anyway, here is a picture of me. (Thank you, Tabitha!!)

As I was blanching the corn, Daddy came in, "May I have one?", "Oh, yeah, sure!"
So here he is preparing a corn-cob for himself. :)
(And check out that beard!)

Yay! Corn cobs all finished- now time to go feed the pigs the left-overs!!

And finally, the corn is all bagged and ready to be frozen. Can you believe I got this little from 66 (actually 65 since Daddy ate one) ears of corn?! 

I was looking at the pictures I took today and I realized that I have a LOT of pictures I have been wanting to share with everyone! I have 259 pictures on my one camera card (actually Daddy's camera, I just use it, lol!) and a lot of them are ones I am going to share with y'all whenever I get the time to post them all up here. I will try to get another blog post up before too long of some of my pictures.

So, yeah... I hope you enjoyed another day with me. I hope I didn't talk too much. ; )
Cheers. 
~Blessings!
