While many are sitting around their backyard bbq, I will be sweaty and covered in itchy corn husk junk. Thanks to the unusually late cold weather this spring, crops went in late and so corn is late coming in. 4th of July is the magic day for the produce stand I work at. It will be an insanely busy day. I am not looking forward to the back breaking work of unloading several hundred dozen ears of corn from the back of the pick-up truck. Ahhh the bending pain!!! Then it will be non stop bagging and boxing as people flood in. There will barely be a moment to sit down. Thank goodness all I have to do later is sit and watch the fireworks, after a nice long shower of course. I will be spending the holiday as usual with one of my very best friends (26 years now) and his family. I have a special surprise for him and can't wait.
I work all weekend so I won't have time to recover, it will be right back at it on Saturday and Sunday as well. Monday, well don't even consider waking me up. I will certainly be sleeping in!!!! The true bonus this year, however, will be that I can EAT the delicious corn I'll be selling. After my wonderful colonoscopy, my GI doctor proclaims I can eat whatever I want. I think it will be scary after almost 4 years to eat corn, but it will be so so buttery delicious I bet.
