June and Corn on the Cob

Welcome to June!

It is time for regular weeding of the garden, sheesh.  And the mosquitoes are out. The corn at the grocery stores are excellent and cheap at this time of year. Last week we were buying some and husband M noticed a sign that said 'if you husk the corn in the store, you will be charged double the price at checkout'. He noticed a woman doing just that, she was leaving the husks in the corn bin. He mentioned the sign to her and she thanked him, she had no idea. Then she left the husked corn in the bin and grabbed some other ones. Hmm.

It was good corn. I just microwave a cob for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes, I don't even put butter on it, it is delicious either way.

Wonderful June!

I've been snapping these colourful flowers all over the neighbourhood and wherever I go, June is just wonderful! And we have been getting a lot of rain, so the flowers are happy. I wish these days wouldn't go by so fast.  Do you notice how the days are getting longer (until June 21 when they will start getting shorter).
