knee high by the 4th of July is a myth

Jul 7, 2024

Mr. Farmer’s cornfield hasn’t just grown to knee height. Taken on July 6th, the photo below shows his corn is at LEAST eye high.

The cupola on top of the pesky neighbor’s barndo is all that’s visible.

I can barely still see the top of their place now for the corn, and US 31 isn’t visible from here anymore either. Corn is the best privacy fence ever! The pool is totally blocked from view unless you’re one of those back deck lurkers.

Swim today and mow tomorrow.

We have a couple more days of sunshine before rain is again in the forecast. Since it’s Sunday, the day of rest, I’ll wait and mow tomorrow. 🙂

If we just had ripe tomatoes, I’d know summer was finally in full swing.
