After picking, we went ahead and sat down to shuck it all - if I don't do stuff when I am thinking about it, I tend to forget to do it - or I have to be on a roll and want to do a lot at once.
Doesn't Logan look like a regular farmer in this picture?
The horses love when we shuck corn because they get all of the shucks and silks and will about eat until they are sick! By the way - those are fly masks on their faces and yes they can see through them - we laugh that they look like Robo-horses.
Logan found this 'double ear' while shucking.
We ended up getting 35 ears this go-around and there is still some on the stalks! Now comes the fun part (not really) of cutting it off the ears to freeze. We have found that it freezes better than it cans - it stays crisp. Speaking of, I am being summoned to help wash and cut!

Wow, that's neat about the double corn!!!! AND, wasn't Logan hot sitting there like that? Surely, you were fanning him while he was working - ha ha ha.
Had to laugh about the masks on the horses. The girl down the road used to put one on hers and I would sometimes lay in bed thinking about that poor horse that was "blind-folded" - LOL LOL LOL LOL!!! If only someone would have told me!!!!!!!
See ya Monday.
Love, Mom XOXO
