The cob web post

You know it's officially summer when the first batch of local corn arrive at the neighbourhood market. Last Monday at dinner, I was feeding Dex corn kernels that I've carefully shaved off the cob, a tedious job next only to peeling grapes. He kept wanting more and more so I thought, hey, let's just see what he can do if I hold it up to his mouth. He took a tentative bite, followed by another, then another, which then led into a frantic munch. I got tired of holding the cob so I got him to hold it and wow, did he ever go to town after that. That was fun to watch. Here's some feeding pictures during and after. My little dear, wait until you taste Taber corn!
