Freezing Corn!

It's been a busy summer for our family. We kicked into high gear as soon as we returned from our trip, every day full of summer activities: butchering chickens, picking blueberries, preserving garden produce, mowing yards, walking beans, training horses, celebrating birthdays and visits from friends!

With the past weeks so full, it's been hard to find any spare minutes for blogging!! But this week as we have a break from butchering chickens, I'm going to try and put together a few posts to give you a glimpse of how our summer has been!!

God has blessed us greatly-- we stand in awe of His mighty works!

One project has been freezing sweet corn!! Some friends grow corn for us each year, then we get together to spend the day processing hundreds and hundreds of ears. This year we froze nearly 300 quarts!!

The boys and Dads picked and shucked then brought corn up to the house.

A bountiful harvest!

Washing.

Silking.....

and more silking!

The corn is blanched.......

then dumped in tubs to cool.

Cutting!!

Corn, corn and more corn!!

Lots of corn waiting to be cut off the ear.

Tabitha and Haylie take a quick break from cutting!
