Today was corn harvest day.
Here’s the haul:

Here’s ready to cook:

After it was cooked, I cut it off the cob and got five freezer bags worth to eat one day when summer is just a memory.
While I was husking the corn, I gave Ben and Sunny a couple of wonky misshapen ears to chew on. Sunny grabbed it and then spit it right out.
[She prefers her corn cooked]. Ben on the other hand proceeded to de-kernal both little cobs with relish.
And I think I have figured out what happened to my first ripe tomato.
Ben ate it.
Though I could not prove this in a court of law.
My only bit of evidence was the other day I fished a couple of ripe ones out of the middle of the tomato patch and Ben saw them and followed me into the house so excited and leaping about… you would think I was carrying raw steak or something.
I’m keeping my eye on the rest of the tomatoes. Any of them that are Ben face level are going to be scrutinized for signs of molestation.
We had broiled tomatoes over homemade french bread last night. I made garlic toast out of the bread first. My oh my. That’s a summer feast!
Okay, now off to play. My work is done.
