corn, corn, corn!

The gamer took me up to Delaware to visit his grandparents for the first time about five years ago. The main things I remember from that trip were the long drive, the nasty chicken smell and the cornfields.

After living in a pretty congested city for the last three years it is definitely a welcome change to drive for miles and miles and pretty much only see farmland.
The first time we came up to visit the gamer's parents after they moved here I noticed that there was farmland practically in their backyard!

Now that it's summer, the corn is growing everywhere in Delaware! But when we go on our walks it is so crazy to just see cornfields growing in the backyard!
Did you know that most of the corn grown in Delaware actually goes into chicken feed, instead of selling it to people?!


Corn, close up!

Walking in a cornfield. It doesn't get more all-American than that!

Happy Fourth of July! :)

Whenever I think of cornfields, I think of those scary kids from the movie Children of the Corn.
