Today is Thankful Thursday and Laurie at http://womentakingastand.blogspot.com/ is hosting our weekly gathering; please drop by and say hello.
Our geographical area is high plains and  we have many ranches and farms locally. Much of the corn grown here is for bio-fuel but in August, the farmers market sell sweet corn and there is nothing like it.  I always love driving past the fields and looking at the rows and rows of cornstalks.  Some are crowded while others are straight rows that you can imagine walking down. I think part of the orientation depends on what the corn is used for.  Monday as hubby and I came home from our daughter's, we stopped at a ranch and bought a dozen ears. Upon arriving home, I immediately cut the corn off the stalk and put it in heavy duty freezer bags for the winter.  We did this two years ago and loved having healthy fresh-frozen corn; at least it tasted better than something you'd get in the freezer department of a market.  I stopped buying frozen produce years ago, just due to the additives and in the winter the fresh vegetables are limited so this is a welcome addition to any meal.
I've already been walking and may ride my bike to the library to return one book.  I've still got two others that I'm halfway through. 
I am thankful for the abundant riches that He graciously pours out on His children.  I am thankful that hubby and I were able to get more dirt dug out from the window wells yesterday, in the cooler weather.  I am thankful that we are healthy enough to do manual labor.  I am thankful for prayers being answered in the lives of many.  I am thankful for family and friends and you!
Hugs today, Noreen
