In the past, we have grown our own corn, and it was wonderful to have fresh-tasting corn all-year-round, having been preserved by the freezer.

This year we are just buying a dozen or two now and then from the local farmers, and so far it seems like this is a good corn year here in Indiana.

Sometimes while shucking corn, there is an unexpected guest eating the kernels, but we can’t blame them, the corn tastes so good!

An interesting fact about corn: When the corn stalks are in need of rain, their leaves stiffen up, and point up to the sky instead of hanging at the sides. God designed them this way so that the stalks can gather more raindrops that will then roll down the leaves and down to the base of the plant. In this way the plant is nourished with as much water as possible, making its produce more delicious.

Has anyone else been enjoying fresh corn on the cob lately?
