Corn Fields and Colorado Peaches

We have been thoroughly enjoying the sweet corn here. There are several places where you can go and get it very near the house, many that you just get how ever much you want and leave the money. So we have it very fresh and whenever we want. Yesterday a Neighbor told us that we could get free sweet corn down the street. So we got the boys and went down to check it out, well I didn't realize it before hand but we got to go into the corn fields and pick the corn ourselves. How fun! So we trampled through the corn fields (trying to take care and not trample the corn) and pick corn ourselves. Will thought it was great fun, Jake just wanted to stay as close to me as possible he is little compared to corn stocks!

The other produce buzz around here is Colorado Peaches! Tons of people are saying how great they are, churches are selling them as fundraisers, and grocery stores are only selling them by the case. This really cracks me up, the fact that we lived there for so long (my whole life in fact)and I never really heard people talk about how great the peaches were and here everyone is talking about them. (OK so I did hear my grandparents talk about them, but they are crazy about produce so that doesn't really count :)- just had to clarify that!)
