Knee High By the 4th of July

Happy 4th of July!!!

In the Midwest, the farmers have an old expression that they use to describe a healthy crop of sweet corn, they say it will be "Knee High by the 4th of July."
Well, this is knee high alright!! I'm not sure if we can thank global warming for this, but just about every year since Alyssa has been born we've had a very similar opportunity to take photos of corn that is well over head high, not knee high by the 4th. I remember as a little girl looking out at fields of corn and debating whether it was knee high or not. There's no question this year, the farmers can expect a plentiful, healthy crop!



Happy Independence Day! Hope everyone had a great 4th of July.


Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.
Psalm 33:12
