“To watch the corn grow, or the blossoms set; to draw hard breath over the plough or spade; to read, to think, to love, to pray, are the things that make men happy.”
John Ruskin (English Writer and Critic of art, architecture, and society, 1819-1900)

SUBJECT: Lightning bug on corn stalk
HandsomeHusband decided to try his hand at growing corn this year. He had StellaDella drop the kernels in the holes he made all along the fence line where he had rototilled the ground - and what do you know…we actually have some decent stalks. It’s amazing how much they have grown. I’m pretty sure that they will be “knee-high by the Fourth of July.” ~*~*~ Last night, SD came running in the house all excited and announced that the lightning bugs were out again. I found one sitting on the cornstalk this evening. Summer is here.

Great close up! Your corn is much further along than the corn around here. It's been so wet that planting got delayed.
