We are teetering on the edge of adding our own organic fresh corn on the cob to the cookouts this summer -- next week for sure (and that's an early harvest).
In the meantime, it's all about the hot dogs, the veggies, the fruit, the bonfire, the marshmallows, and yes, the S'MORES!
Not to mention the Seed Spitting (we use popcorn kernels, since genetic engineering has tinkered with the wonderful watermelon).
All ages get into the spirit of this competition, from Marty (who was having a lot of issues with this, being well mannered, and having been taught it's not polite to 'spit'.) Everyone had to turn their backs for him so he wasn't embarrassed.
That was no problem for Bill, who stepped boldly to the line and gave his all. He didn't quite catch up to Evan, however, who blew that corn kernel 30'10"
Meanwhile, as an added attraction, we had a lovely musical interlude with
Charlotte, who's voice and guitar added a lot to the evening. Thank you for sharing that, Charlotte! It was lovely. We do look forward to getting a copy of the lyrics to the new song you were composing about the Seed Spitting!
