in the midwest.

Midwest living is fantastic for so many reasons.
Living in our new hometown, I feel like we get to embrace all the wonderful things of living in the Midwest even more (small town festivals, quiet and pretty country roads, friendly community, so peaceful...  now if I just had our very own little farm and barn of animals I would be in heaven).

In the summer, sweet corn is a highlight and in July and August we make sure to get it at least twice a week.  (at least being the key words there)
We love our sweet corn.
When we came home from Tennessee we found the corn to be this tall already.

This past week we have been having a lot of fun tending to our neighbor's garden for them.
And helping ourselves to fresh fruits and veggies and herbs and spices.  so fun!  I definitely think there will be the start of our own garden (a little one at least) in the near future.

 Quinn has always loved zucchini.  It was her favorite even as a baby.

She loves to help pick the berries (raspberries & blackberries in her bowl) but she has never been a big berry fan.  She just likes to feed them to mommy. :)

So while we may be doing them a favor by taking care of the garden, it has been a real special treat for us. ;)
