Virginia Flora and Ohio Crops
This past spring, the flora here in Virginia has been absolutely amazing. I've never seen so many flowering bushes and trees, and our yard was a continuing adventure in discovery of flowers, some the likes of which I'd never seen before. Truly, truly amazing. I asked my Virginia cousin GirlyGhoul if this was the norm, and she assured me that it is indeed.
However . . .
I've never seen such whimpy, anemic corn in my entire life. There ain't no way this corn will be knee high by the Fourth of July (and those of you from the Mid-West know what I'm talkin' 'bout). Truly, as I was driving past some fields recently, I thought, "What is that trying to grow over there? Is that . . . Is that corn? Oh, surely not. It's too small and whimpy to be corn. But . . . wait. Yeah, it is corn." I miss the corn fields of Ohio.
But otoh, we've got day lilies coming out now, so that's really pretty.
