Independence Day!

What a great day to celebrate our nation's birth!  We just returned from an Independence Day parade in a neighboring community and it was fabulous.  Lots of old farm tractors and cars, reminding us of what a great place America is.  It's a fairly low key day on the farm.  We are all spending time with family and friends celebrating our freedom and resting up for the days to come as cherry season is upon us.  We measured the corn today, because my dad and grandpa always repeated the old adage, "If the corn is knee-high by the Fourth of July, then it will be a good growing season."  It is knee high, and the weather today is perfect.

Happy 4th of July!  Enjoy.
