Started my drive in North Carolina, traveling through Tennessee, then Kentucky. Once in Iowa the typography or geography, (never can figure which word to use), changed with 100’s of miles of corn fields bordering the interstate. And as the welcome sign said, Farmer’s Feed The Country, and in many cases, the world. Great respect for farmers. It is a calling as well as a profession.

Corn lining the road. Will always regret missing a picture of the Welcome to Iowa sign…….

Next, Missouri and Nebraska. Was astounded by the beautiful sunflowers growing among the grasses. Had to stop and pick a few. Am hopeful to seed these when I return to my home – wherever that is.. HA! HA!
