WEST BRANCH—Driving back roads learned during the 2012 drought I arrived for my 9:30 meeting. It was, and still is a summer day as good as it gets. Wildflowers were everywhere and in bloom.
I can’t name them, there are too many for that, just take in their beauty in the marginal places along the sectioned farm land.
On the way home I stopped at the road side stand and bought sweet corn. Leveraging the local grower makes the most sense as our lot bordering the state park and a 25-acre wood is laden with corn-eaters.
Dinner will be ears of corn, garden green beans and a slice of cheddar cheese. This is summer in Iowa.
