| white sweet corn |
I was at the hairdresser last week. The esthetician was all upset. She is an older woman and it seems she had been asked to repeat her mammogram, including an additional ultrasound. For three days she had been in a private hell, worrying about the potential outcome. (That happened to me a few years ago so I could empathize). Everytime her phone rang, she went into a bit of a panic. After a little while, yet another phone call came in and this time it WAS her doctor. It turns out the results were negative and she was happy again! The hairdresser's assistant showed me photos of the recent Syrian refugee crisis. A young boy was found washed up on the shore of a Turkish beach, his family trying to flee Syria. It is heartbreaking and sad and there is a call for North America to do more to help.
On leaving the salon, I noticed a man selling bags of corn from his pickup truck. He must have been a farmer. So I bought a bag of 13 for $5. They are sweet, delicious, large white corn cobs.

Yes, the plight of the refugees is terrible. We have thousands arriving daily here in Germany. It's hard waiting for a call if you are worried, been though that, too. Have a good start in the week and enjoy your corn, looks good.
Oh I suddenly would want to have some sweet corn.
I'm glad her results were negative in the end and it was good news. Enjoy your sweet corn. I've never had it straight from the cob myself.
Good the tests came back negative.
Yes, I saw that photo, too. I am glad that Germany is willing to house those migrants.
I love fresh corn. So delicious. And how nice for that hairdresser that the news was good. I saw that photo, too. Very heartbreaking.
Thanks for ending your post on an upbeat note! Corn on the cob is one of my favorites, and you can't do much better than straight from the farm.
Good stuff indeed. Greetings!
Enjoy your corn.
I'm glad your hairdresser is okay! The corn looks yummy!
I'd like to see the USA take some refugees, our wars caused by George Dubya Bush is the main reason why they're leaving their homeland.
There is so much stress when waiting for test results to come back. I can understand why she was so upset. Glad that the outcome was positive though. The corn looks wonderful - great price too.
Lucky you! We haven't had sweet corn in quite a while. The Syrian refugee crisis is just heartbreaking. I don't know what the answer is though. How do you stop the wars?
