The flags are waving
Freedom is ours
Its a gift to be saving
Remember this all year long.

Hello,

The shed is here! It came last Friday morning from my old Country Store. See the photo at right where they ready to set it down on the new cement pad. I can't believe I did this! It will be painted red, hope it will be ready for September apple sales. This will be my Apple Shack. History is made every day and in my world this is History!

I'm full up with buildings in that space. I need to figure out where to put any more! This is the fifth building I have moved; one in Hopkins, two at the Country Store and two At the Farm.

You can come and walk through the flower gardens. Then sit a spell, and just enjoy the splendor, while you sip a glass of lemonade, ice tea or ice water.

Best ways to Cook Sweet Corn

Stove Top
Start with cold water in pot. Do not put salt or sugar in the water. Bring the water to a boil. Add corn. Try to have only 6 cobs in the pot. When it re-boils, time it for 4 minutes. Enjoy!

On the Grill
Out of Husk - Wrap corn in foil and grill about 4 minutes on side.
In Husk - Remove silk, then soak corn in water for about 20 minutes. Grill on each side for about five minutes.
