I just love autumn. I love the fall colors in all their splendor. I love the harvest. I have the most wonderful memories of harvesting fruits and vegetables with my family from our large garden when I was growing up. Our kitchen was a canning extravaganza. My mother was always covered in either raspberries or tomatoes. I think the amount of corn I’ve shucked in my lifetime is higher than I can count. Those were the days when parents had uninterrupted time to actually talk to their children. What else can you do when shucking corn? The smell of corn silk still evokes pleasant memories that make me smile. Our kids enjoy trekking through Uncle Rob's pumpkin patch to select that oh so perfect jack-o'-lantern!
