Labor Day we labored to get the corn in. Remember crisp falls evenings that we would all work together to pick, shuck, blanch, cut the corn off the cobs, and haul it into the freezer? Now we can work on this project on a weekend. But in the old days we had to find a weekday evening to do it because every day even close to a weekend the kids were in: cross country, basketball, volleyball, soccer, school open house, pack meeting, sports parent meeting. I'm sure I forgot something.

It sure does. Happy Memories. It was probably tons of work but I remember loving shucking corn! and it always tastes so much better than other frozen corn.
Happy memories for me too. I feel my kiddos are missing out. I need to figure out how to grow corn here!
Does it ever! This project is one of the reasons that I love fall...it really was a lot of work, but it was fun work with really happy family-togetherness memories attached to it.
