...until we enjoy some juicy corn on the cob!* I love to see those tassels finally make their appearance. It reminds me of our long-ago homeschooling days and the poem I often quoted to the kids.
Lovely! See the cloud, the cloud appear!
Lovely, See the rain, the rain draw near!
Who spoke?
'Twas the little corn-ear
High on the tip of the stalk.

I took this picture last night when I was out watering the vegetables while the sun was setting. The tassels were so perfectly highlighted in the sunlight. It was so beautiful!
I immediately grabbed the cell phone in my pocket and called home for someone to bring out my camera to the lower garden. I love it when Tom takes a break from studying and comes down to meet me in the garden. :)

My, Deb, it is so beautiful there. I miss the beauty of Virginia so much. I long to be driving along the Blue Ridge Mountains with my husband, taking in the wonder of God's creation in your part of the world. :)

When you see corn like that you realise what a blessing it is to grow it.
