The Globe and Mail is running a series of essays on the theme Lost Summer. Today my memories of the annual family corn roast runs in Facts & Arguments. It will be available online for a few days and then will be archived. So, find the corn picks, buy extra butter and read it while it’s hot(linked)! Like seasonal corn, it won’t be around for long.
Update: The article is no longer available online for free. For copyright reasons I won’t post it here. If you’re an editor or long lost relative, email me and I’ll send you a copy.

Wonderful essay Charmian!
The line that painted a picture for me was-
“The water dances around the yellow cobs, as excited as we are”-beautiful!
Yes, I loved that line, too! Actually, I loved the whole article and just emailed it to a bunch of people who adore corn as much as I do.
So happy today is farmers’ market day. Guess what I’ll be buying?
