Deuteronomy 6:4-9

Listen, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord alone. And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are are at home and when you are on the road, when your are going to bed and when your are getting up. Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

Corn

summergardenharvest2010 007

We have an annual tradition of traveling down to my in-laws with Joe’s brother’s family to “put up corn”.  A family down the road plants a large crop of sweet corn every year and allows us to pick it for nothing!  The only catch is that when corn is ready, you have to put it up then.  So on Sunday it was time.  We all made the trek down to their house to get it done.  I believe it took us 4 hours and we were able to take home 26 quart bags of corn per family.  It was a very successful evening!

    Only in Indiana....Your life is so lovely and idyllic. Though, I do think there is a farm somewhere nearby, which allows us to pick up free manure, if we're interested. Sort of the same thing :) I hope you love corn!
