Another test on Monday morning

Beautiful day here – it’s sweet corn season! I’ve never tasted anything like it – I believe it’s the sweetest corn Rick has ever grown. It’s called Bodacious and I wish I could invite you all for supper!

OMG! I think the picture loaded! Did it?

    Mary, the photoes and corn looks yummy. This is for Rick: how did you get the curves. I like to eat my corn very methodically…three rows at a time in long straight lines. I think I would mess up with the curves. And, yes, I know it the tastes the same! 🤣

    I remember our garden lunches when we were there for camp. I’m so glad you are back up and praying no more clutches. I missed your posts, even though I don’t always respond I love your pictures and memories.
    And yes, I’d like to know why Reed didn’t go to State, his work is amazing.

    Progress and sweet corn variety I hadn’t heard about! How did you do with the weather? We got about a five minute warning before the winds hit….lots of lightning which our grand puppy doesn’t like but as long as I sat on the floor with her, she was fine. At home, her family has been to the basement four times, with water, bike helmets, blankets and phones, so who can blame her for being scared. I will send you a picture if I can figure out how to do it.

    Good to see a picture from you. I know how hard you are trying to get us pictures. Thank you for all your posts.

    When the pic of corn began to load, the spiritual, “Mary, Mary, don’t you weep, don’t you moan”, NO MORE, thought came. Hoping this is the end of all of your frustration with the blog. Thanks again for pursuing and including us in your wonderful life. For sure will have to make a trip to the Farm Store for some fresh corn.

    Yes..Corn! Could the problem be with devise loading pictures from? Phone? Just another thought!

    Picture of corn reminds me of the time we were at camp when it was corn time. Everyone ate dinner at your house of corn and huge chunks of butter. It was so good fresh from garden. Maybe Mary Baker’s house.
    I only saw 1 ad.

    YEAH!!!!!!!!!! The picture came through perfectly and I had 8 ads to close on this one! I’m gonna hold my breath and hope this means good things!!

    The sweet corn looks delicious! I didn’t get any when I was back in MN. Like the beef, sweet corn is not as good as in the Midwest. Enjoy!

    Yes! The corn picture came through. Thank you for persevering despite all the aggravation. Love your blog!

    I feel a road trip coming on! Maybe we’ll actually get to meet Mary and Hazel! How grand would that be? I can’t even imagine!

  54. Mary In TN

    Great looking corn! Sure hope your troubles are over with your site. Computers are great..except when they aren’t. Will be looking forward to your daily happenings once again!

  58. Chris H. in Washington

    Yeah!!!!! Corn is gorgeous and it’s good to see your perseverance has paid off. Have a great day, Mary.🌞

    Maybe I didn’t wait long enough, but the picture of the sweet corn came on when I clicked on comments. You didn’t put any butter on the corn??? Looks good.
    Sturgis Motorcycle Rally is officially open. There has been a bit a rain here so it has been rather quiet for now. That will change as soon as it clears up. They will all have lots of fun enjoying all the companionship and our wonderful scenery and weather.

    I received a picture. It was such a wet spring here in Indiana that gardens and sweet corn planted along with field corn got planted so late I don’t know when we will have local corn.

  65. Sue in Oregon

    Horray!! It loaded. Good for you, Mary and good for everyone. Yes, I love Bodacious corn. It is so-o-o sweet.

  75. Jane Dumler

    Got the delicious corn and also the railroad picture. You are wonderfully patient getting this fixed.

  79. Jeanine

    Yes. And Bodacious corn is the best. We have grown it here in southeast Iowa too. Sorry to read that the next picture didn’t post.

  83. Launa

    My mouth watered just seeing Rick’s corn.
    So good to close 3 ads, too.
    Thanks for not giving up on posting pictures to us, Mary.

    I was able to see the picture of the corn in the email notice but when I clicked on the blog to read the comments, the picture didn’t download. Your getting closer though!

  85. Marsha from Kansas

    As soon as I posted the comment, seven ads appeared with the X so I could close them. Guess I need to comment each time??!?

  90. Janice Hebert

    Marsha from Kansas (I’ve never met anyone from Kansas!) it was like that on my computer but I hit the refresh button and the X’s appeared! Jan from MA

    The picture came through!!! Corn looks great, didn’t you post a great freezer recipe for corn some years back?

    I recall it had cream and butter in it and it froze beautifully. Any chance you could repost that recipe?

  92. Linda in Tennessee

    Yay! Glad to see the corn!
    Only plus to all your problems and tests is I had lots of ads to click!!

  94. Marsha from Kansas

    Yes! The picture was sideways in the email and right side up on the blog. That sweet corn does look delicious!! Five ads but no X to close.

  96. Janice Hebert

    Yay! That corn looks awesome! We haven’t had any yet this year… eating our green beans and cukes. Tomatoes soon. But I love corn. Would love to come for supper! You are the best for persevering Mary, we all appreciate the work you’ve done. Clicking away here in Topsfield! Jan in MA
