On Saturday, John and I took Elizabeth to Ardenwood Farm. They have a big harvest festival each year where they make hand cranked ice-cream, have live music, BBQ, there are crafts for kids and old tyme recipes for the adults. There is a working blacksmith, lots of farm animals and all the employees dressed the parts.John and I had a great time picking corn. It was a lot of fun, though a lot like finding a needle in a haystack. We go to pick either Indian Corn or PopCorn from the stalks. Whatever we picked we had to shuck. We got to keep half and had to give back half. It worked out well-I don't think I would want to make a living out of harvesting corn, but once a year for half an hour wasn't so bad!
