I love The Fresh Saginaw Grown Sweet Corn at Hemmeter’s

Posted on July 26, 2016 by Mike Sonnenberg Posted in Barns

For those of you that have been following me for a while you know that I don’t like the summer heat, but the one thing that I do like this time of year, is the locally grown sweet corn. I am a city kid, and not an expert on growing corn, but I do know I like fresh sweet corn. Alton Brown said that corn looses it’s sweet flavor the longer it sits after it has been cut from the stalk, and I know at Hemmeter’s they cut their corn fresh, one of the workers told me they cut it a few times a day as they need it, so it’s always fresh, maybe that is why it tastes so good. Mt favorite is the peaches and cream variety, not sure if it is any different than the yellow, but I like to think so.

An Old American Barn

Posted on May 23, 2016 by Mike Sonnenberg Posted in Barns

I liked this old barn on Lanwndale with the American Flag proudly displayed on the side of it. When I was a kid growing up I remember a lot of old barns around the north west part of Saginaw Township and Kochville Twp. I still remember the old barn near Applebees on Tittabawasse Rd. yeah I know I am not as old as some of you, but I do remember when everything north of Tittibawassee road was all farmland. I guess that’s why I like the old barns left around some of the houses that have taken over the farmland.

The Old Windmill In The Snowstorm

Posted on March 1, 2016 by Mike Sonnenberg Posted in Barns, Winter

I saw this old windmill on Kochville road a while ago, but I never found the right time to stop and take a pic of it. I was heading home from work in the snowstorm and I remembered the old windmill. It looks like one of the blades is missing, so the “heavy end” keeps it from spinning, and even if it did, I am not sure it would be doing much work, being old and heavy at one end. ( kinda like me). At least it’s still standing tall through the snowstorm, and I can only imagine all the Michigan winters it has seen.

The Calm Before the Storm

Posted on February 23, 2016 by Mike Sonnenberg Posted in Barns

It was another beautiful February day in Michigan, but once again a winter storm is predicted for tomorrow and Thursday. I have seen forecasts saying we are going to get over 12″ of snow. I have lived here long enough to know that just about anything can happen, so I don’t put a lot of faith in snow predictions, but it does look like a storm is a brewing. I saw this old barn out near Freeland, and it will be doing all it can to survive another storm. Hopefully I can get out and get some good pics of the snow if we get some. Whatever happens, stay safe and warm.
