Not Growing Like Weeds Growing Like Corn

This weekend is Grandma DeLay's birthday, she is be 85 yrs. I believe, so I was trying to think of a good place to take a picture of the kids. So I came up with taking their picture in front of a corn field. When we were in Michigan we missed Iowa corn. There is nothing like a roasted ear of corn dipped in melted butter and a Hy-Vee butterfly pork chop sandwich. From the Mississippi Valley Fair. Now that is good eats. You know the old saying, "Knee by the fourth of July"? Well, Iowa corn always supersedes that statement. So here's what Dav., IA corn looks like in town off of Fairmount near the Library. I'm sure the further out of town the bigger it is. I also measured the kids for comparison. Riley is 51 in. and Cheyenne is 35 in. tall. The corn was at least a foot or so above Riley's head. Today is also one of those days you can hear the corn growing. It is about 93 degrees and 57 % humidity. Our gas prices are about $2.76/ gal. in Davenport. Dave was in Iowa City today and gas there is $3.09/gal. (45 min. away). Not that gas has anything to do with corn, just thought you'd like to know.
