This week we had our first sweet corn of the season. The farm down the road grows it, and we always try to buy it and cook it as soon after it is picked as possible. I would have taken a picture of it, but the shortest time from field to table is like a religion around here. No time for pictures!
So instead I am cheating a little and using some of the pictures I took at sunset this week, along with a picture from the farm. The temperatures have still been in the 90's here for the past few days, and while we try to stay inside in the heat of the day, it is almost a blessing to venture forth as the sun begins it's slow descent below the trees.
Here's hoping for some cooler weather this week. :)

Oh Corn on the cob is so good right from the farm stand. Can't beat it. Hope you have a great week Mary. Your mosiac is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteMary, that is such a pretty mosaic! We also love to get the corn out of the garden and into the pot as soon as possible.

Beautiful mosaics!

ReplyDeleteI love sweet corn on the cob and wish I had some to cook & consume right now ... seriously ;-)

Wow, I didn't know pigs and chickens could read. You raise 'em smart down there.
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely drowsy summertime mosiac ... creates the feeling of a warm summer's evening.
ReplyDeleteStunning pictures Mary! Love the barn/coop/shed picture!
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing like fresh sweet corn ... right up there with fresh off the vine tomatoes! Lovely mosaic! love the farm....
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos and a lovely mosaic. We love corn on the cob too, in fact we fixed some yesterday with our steamed crabs. YUMMY!
ReplyDeleteOh there it is again...just heavenly! All that green almost makes me feel cool.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and summery mosaic...I'll be over for some of that freshly picked corn in a bit...lol
ReplyDeleteLovely summer mosaic. You're forgiven for not taking a photo of the corn...THIS time. :)
ReplyDeleteDon't you love summer evenings and that tall yellow grass? I was going to do a "summer on the farm" mosaic this week too but I went camping for the weekend and couldn't finish my photos in time. Next week! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful and peaceful looking!
ReplyDeleteSometimes the evenings here are the nicest part of the day as well. Your blurred backgrounds are lovely.
ReplyDeleteMy Mom gets her corn from the Amish farmer nearby. There's nothing like it!
ReplyDeleteLovely mosaic too - as I drool over my computer thinking about fresh corn. (;
Hey Mary, I have tasted New Jersey sweet corn at my sis-in-law's place in Princeton, it is the sweetest! And she too has this "time from farm to table" obsession, so I know what you mean! Lovely mosaic as always!
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely photos, Mary! I also love sweet corn! It has been extra delicious this year around here! Happy week!...hugs...Debbie
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful lighting in your summer farm photos.Thanks for hosting! Take care, Mary
ReplyDeleteLove this, Mary...the lighting is awesome..

Fresh corn and right down the road! You are so lucky! Very pretty shots!
ReplyDeleteMary, Such a beautiful summer mosaic, makes me want to come for a visit! Looks like you're enjoying the summer!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos and beautiful mosaic, Mary! I love fresh corn, so sweet!...Christine
ReplyDeleteLove the barn and the pop of red in the berries.
ReplyDeleteWhat peaceful scenes.
ReplyDeleteThe corn will be a few weeks yet, as our weather is not as hot and sunny as yours. When the corn comes, though, we'll be in line at the stand!
That shot of the barn is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLove your photos Mary. It is blackberry time. Love that photo. I have picked blackberries every year since I was a kid. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteSherry
Beautiful photos. They look lovely together. :)
ReplyDeleteMorning Mary, I always love your photography and your mosaics. I love old buildings and their windows and doors, so I love the old barn!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting MM and have a great week. Keep cool, Jackie in UK.
I love your photos. I especially like old barns and out buildings. So pretty. I wish we when we had sweet corn season here it was close by like yours is. Oh, it's sooooo good right off the stalk.
ReplyDeleteHappy summer day to you,
Susan
Wonderful photos, lovely ligt and colors ;)
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are just beautiful! It all looks so peaceful and relaxing.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing like the taste of fresh picked veggies, straight from the farm to the table. We have a veggie stand at the end of our road (from a local farm) and we buy most of our veggies from there all summer long.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful, as always, Mary. You started a wonderful things with Mosaic Monday. I love all of the creativity shared.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous mosaic!!!! It really makes me think of a sleepy summer late afternoon in the very rural area where I grew up; nothing but fields of corn, mint, hay and red dairy barns for miles!
ReplyDeletebeautiful... mosaic.. So so gorgeous... I now look forward to making the mosaic on your mondays.. :-)
ReplyDeleteDear Mary you have a great talent, I like your pictures and thank you.... ;-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, Mary. We're having a cooler summer this year, I miss the heat. Your photos capture the essence of drowsy summer evenings.
ReplyDeleteWell I'm back after being gone for a week of funeral's and birthdays...life goes on as they say. Have a fun mosaic today of the 12 Little Dresses or Africa that I completed before having to fly home to NH this week. Hope everyone has a great week and thanks once again Mary for hosting this wonderful weekly feature, fondly, Roberta
ReplyDeleteMy 1st Mosaic Monday! Thank you for hosting.
ReplyDeleteI like the arrows for pigs and chickens. Somehow that amuses me. Looks like very pretty countryside to me. :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful mosaic Mary and I love your photo's. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteWe just had some fresh corn prepared on the grill in the husk with butter & lime squeezed on top of it right before eating - marvelous!!! Nothing compares to fresh, sweet summer corn!
ReplyDeleteFun mosaic - I especially like the BARN with the arrows going every-which-way!! You're the hostess with the mostess!!!!!
