Today, I went to a strip shopping center. You know, the kind that has a line of stores and a sea of black asphalt for parking with cylinders of concrete from which tall light poles emerge. There, sprouting from the base of this one cylinder of concrete, located practically in the middle of the massive parking lot was green a stalk of corn. I didn’t check to see if it had produced an ear, but it was large enough to have done so. It seemed amazing to me that 1. a corn kernel ended up at the base of the cylinder, 2. there was enough dirt for the kernel to sprout and 3. no one had broken, hit or torn the stalk out yet. It was so great to see, I had to take the picture above.
On the way home, we had to go on the ramp from route 29 to route 32. Frank noticed a small bunny on the side of the road… and then another…. and then another… and another…. and yet another, each one spaced about 30 feet from the other. It was just strange to see…!!
