Running Through Cornfields

When I was a child I had an Uncle Carmen who owned a large cornfield across his home. I can remember visiting my cousin and aunt and uncle during picking time and running free through acres of cornfields.
We would stop occasionally, grab a corn, peel off the husks, and eat it raw. It was so sweet it tasted like it had been sugared.
It is one of my fondest memories of my childhood. Oh to be able to run through a cornfield and feel that freedom I felt when I was a child.

Mmmmm. GOod sweet corn is so delicious. Most of what we get here is stuff they usually give the animals. It's rather starchy and not that sweet.

@HazySue .....That's for sure. When I was little I liked to play with the silk. It was so soft.

What a treasured memory. I grew up in Philadelphia so no corn field near us. But now that I live in North Carolina, we have grown our own corn. Never ran through it though, only a couple 5 foot long rows for us. But I have tasted it fresh and you're so right, so tender and sweet. Have a blessed day
