Corn Maiden Raids Garden
Our garden was recently raided by a bare-footed hungry Corn Maiden, my youngest son’s girlfriend’s daughter. She plans to come back in September or October when the pumpkins are ripe, at which point we’ll call her “The Goddess of Harvest.”
And in other news, for those who haven’t heard:
1. Please don’t use the word “online” in a comment. Apparently, my blog doesn’t like it. After three different readers were unable to comment here at “Loose Leaf” and were cited for “questionable content,” and after determining that the said citations were “questionable,” I did some detective work. I discovered the common denominator to be the word “online,” although, I seem to be able to say it all I want to out here on the front page. Please feel free to say “on the internet,” or as Lu from Lu’s News (a reader who didn’t take too kindly to being bumped) suggested: o.n.l.i.n.e.
2. Yesterday I came across a tip from Yellojkt, suggesting that his readers check out “The Tail that Wags the Blog,” a recent Washington Post column by journalist and blogger Joel Achenbach. Yellojkt described it as the funniest thing he had ever read about blogs. I agree, and so I’m passing the tip along.
3. And this just in from Laura at Milk and Honey: The Human Clock! It’s a site that posts people’s intriguing photographs displaying the current time, with the photo changing every minute of the day. It’s worth a visit. Enjoy!

Weird about the o.n.l.i.n.e filtering! Here via Michelle’s!

I will be sure not to use that NASTY little word 🙂

Let’s see if scrambled will work — though it seems to me “enloin” would be more risque. Great picture!

I loved that photo too — she looks so sweet! It brings back memories of when I’d eat raw corn on the cob straight off the stalk when I was a girl.
Thanks for visiting and linking to my entry.
