Corn, Wind, Purse, Whew!

Joel received a surprise donation of late corn this year so he brought home some to freeze. We didn't freeze any during the summer so I was really glad to get it. We just kept eating it this summer instead of saving it. I had some good help with the husking.



This kid helped too:



Isn't that about the cutest thing ever?!! She kept saying "big corn, big corn."

I had 36 ears of corn for freezing after the three that were eaten for supper. I got nine bags out of that. Nine. I have to put a lot of corn in each bag. If I don't, I just end up using two bags because Joel loves fresh frozen corn. He won't even eat it from the grocery store. (Big shocker there).

Now, I want you to go back to the first picture and notice our clothes in the background. Today was a very windy day! My pants kept blowing up over the edge of the fence, and I was afraid that some smart-alack kid was going to grab hold of them and pull, but no one did. Thank goodness!

As promised, I took a picture of my other project from this weekend, my purse.



I forgot to do it during the day so I had to take it on the counter under the bright lights! It is hard to photograph corduroy. It showed up funny on the screen! I really like this purse. It is not huge, which is fine with mean. I just can't stuff too much junk in, which is good! I love the appliqued leaf. I was actually supposed to put fabric yo-yos on it, and I did that to one I made for a gift and was not too fond of them so I decided to do this instead. However, I will make that decision before the purse is sewn together next time! It is a very fallish purse. Fun, fun!

We saw, according to Pnut, Peanut the Squirrel at the playground today. Apparently, he is a well-traveled squirrel. Here I thought he just stayed around our fence, but I was corrected! She chased him around the playground. We also saw Jumpy Squirrel there. There is a Jumpy Squirrel on Curious George for all of you who are not well versed in children's programming. I am afraid that one of these squirrels is going to attack her one day for chasing them around. She chases them until they are some place where she can't get them, like up a tree.

Well, I should go work on my Pay It Forward. I have half a month left to get this all done. Goodness, how the time has flown! Have a great evening:)
