the corn guy


Beautiful summer's day. In our neck of the woods, it snows in January, there is sugaring in March, the leaves turn in October, and in late July the "corn guy" arrives on the same corner in West Rutland, and sells sweet corn until the end of the season. Some of the early morning risers have noticed the Pleiades appearing in the morning sky in the east. These Seven Sisters will become more prominent as summer turns to fall. I haven't figured out if the appearance of the constellation causes the corn guy to turn up, or visa versa. Blackberries ripening in the front yard.
