Post time again!
Well, as you may have deduced by now, I have a fish. His name is Vivaldi, after the manner of animals I have owned in the past (two hamsters named Beethoven and Mozart). Before I ventured to the pet store I was listening to Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons" on my record player -- a record which was a happy find at the ever-so-wonderful Deseret Industries. My new friend sits in a glass bowl on my desk, which ironically enough, also came from the land of DI. I don't really know why I like to have little critters around. I guess it's mostly because they're good secret keepers and they don't seem to mind if you ramble on and on about your troubles. It's like being alone, but better. Plus it's sort of sweet to look over and see a pair of curious eyes and know that it's you that keeps those eyes open. He's a pretty little thing.
And with that, Blog Readers, meet Vivaldi. Vivaldi, meet Blog Readers.
This evening, for Family Night, we once again plucked deliciousness from the garden and put in air-tight baggies. It's wonderful to know that we will have free, homegrown corn all winter long. It's not quite as wonderful as fresh corn on the cob (which is just as good or better than any dessert), but it's much more wonderful than store bought corn-from-a-can. Yick.
Dad's making peach shakes now, so I better get going. But enjoy pictures of our corny evening! Love you all!

I love to see a good man with an apron on. Freezing corn reminds me of the process of canning when I was young, when everyone in the family had a job to do. I wish I had that help now.
Cute fish, and I love the name. (Love the recording also.)
It's great to see the family involved in this process. You have a good Dad to help in the kitchen - and then make shakes, too. Bonus. The corn looks wonderful and your pics are impressive. You have a good eye. I have done canning for more years than I am going to admit but I've never taken pictures of it. In the end, that's all that will last. And Vivaldi is a beautiful fish.
fresh corn is SO GOOD. oh man. i'm such an indiana homegirl. there really is nothing better than homegrown sweetcorn. mmmmmm. i could definitely go for some of that right about now. :)
