Aw Shucks!

We headed over to the Clark's farm last night and I did not know what a ride I was in for! Clark and Sons is a large scale organic farm, which is unusual down here. He gave us a grand tour of the place including his dog collection. When people don't want dogs they send them over to his place to live. I had never seen a dog take an ear of corn out of a husk and sit and enjoy eating the whole thing. Well that's just the best way to get rid of spoiled corn I guess. We headed over to the corn field and he taught us how to pick corn and how to know how it's ripe before even pulling it off the stalk. We ended up filling our whole trunk with corn. Bad idea in hindsite. He was telling me how to make corn whisky but said it wasn't possible in Philly because Philly people need harder stuff. He cracked me up. The only person with a hilarious sarcastic personality so far that gets my personality.

On the drive home we had another conversation about wild dogs. I am glad Brandon prepped me on the fact that there is such thing as an outdoor dog. This is a dog that never, ever goes inside, not even in the winter! I didn' tknow it was possible.  Someone else out there had to been clueless to this too! I have not witnessed this until being down here. Cindy was telling me stories about how hunting dogs sometimes go astray and join packs of coyotes and become more visicous than the coyotes since they aren't afraid of humans and other animals since they have been domesticated. Oh geez, guess that's another thing I have to look out for while being down here.

When we got back around 8:30 pm we had to shuck all the corn so we could vac it to keep it fresh. So we sat on the back porch, drank some woodchuck and shucked away. Now it was a daunting task, but not as daughnting as I thought it would. For before we left, Al taught us how to shuck corn and for 25 year I have shucked it improperly and all that tie I could have done it in a flash! I will give a personal FREE tutoial to those of you that need this help!! Lincoln and Jackson sure enjoyed the remains!
