Our dear friend Carrie grew up on a farm west of Salina. Her parents have been sharing fresh produce with us all summer, and they invited us out to enjoy their farm for the weekend.
The vegetable patch is hidden out between the other fields and the late summer weeds.

Kivrin loved playing with this plastic washing machine. She kept hiding her doll in the top and then “finding” it again.
Kivrin and I were wrestling and tickling on the floor – we loved the big open space to play together!

Kivrin helped pick this red pepper and then carried it around the fields, sometimes holding and patting it like a baby doll.

“I’m as corny as Kansas in August….” Here’s how Kivrin measures up to the corn.
Carrie’s dad picked up twenty dozen corn first thing Sunday morning and we all worked together to shuck it. Carrie’s brother Allen put the corn in boiling water for a few minutes using a propane powered turkey fryer and then we dunked it in an ice bath, cut the corn off the cob and bagged it in quart freezer backs. I can’t remember the final count but I think it was more than 50 bags of corn in one afternoon!
Kivrin loves corn on the cob, especially the delicious Sutton bicolor sweet corn!
The beautiful fresh produce from the garden.
