Christian Real Estate Professionals : Fran's Friday Forum...Active Rain In Corny Pennsylvania...!!!

Fran's Friday Forum...Active Rain In Corny Pennsylvania...!!!

It has been actively raining in Pennsylvania all year...  

In fact, the grass is so green this time of year...when we would normally be recovering from brown dormancy, we're mowing grass twice a week instead, and we're mowing it wet to boot...!!!  

Of course, my Scag Tiger Cub Zero Turn, which allows me to cut 2 acres of lawn in an hour and a half instead of 3 to 5 hours as with a conventional tractor, is still in the shop waiting for a small part from Kawasaki, the engine manufacturer...  

I thought perhaps by writing this post, I might get some productive Google Juice flowing with some of the key words in here...!!!  

The good news, however, is that the Berks County sweet corn crop is in and simply delicious...If you've never tasted Berks County sweet corn on the cob, you don't know what you're missing...  

It is so good you can eat it raw...!!!  

Have a great weekend and go out and grab yourself some of that great sweet corn on the cob...!!!  

In fact, there are a lot of Pennsylvania freshly farm grown products in season right now...go for a nice weekend family drive and hunt down one of those pleasant Pennsylvania roadside stands...they're full of local peaches, watermelons, cantaloupe, tomatoes, peppers, corn, squash, cucumbers, lettuce, string beans, apples, pears, pumpkins, etc...!!!

Sounds delicious!  I am NOT complaining about the rain, for we live on a corner, and though we do not have acres like you,  it's a LOT of grass to water.... and i am the one chosen to water it....

Fran - I've always loved corn and I suppose we are a bit spoiled in that regard here in Pa.  Have a great weekend, my friend.

Fran: C.O.B. (corn on cob) is one of my Fav's!!!  When I used to visit my great grandparents on their Kentucky farm, my G-grandma would fix up fresh C.O.B. and green beans (she cooked those beans for hours) from her garden...and I'd eat and eat and eat. She'd finally say, "Kat, I'm afraid you're gonna get sick."   Well, I never did, and I'll never forget those wonderful times.

Hi Fran-You can't beat fresh corn on the cob as well as other fresh veggies right out of the garden. Makes me hungry. :-)

We have had so much rain this year!  It is supposed to rain all weekend, too.  Sounds like the corn is delicious, it is one of my Summer favorites!  Enjoy!
