What a beautiful town! I really love the park, both your houses and the church.
Oh - and the murals! They're great. I love small town living so far. You grew up in one. How nice that must have been.

I thought it was soybeans, but didn't want to sound stupid if it wasn't
 I grew up on the farm, but we didn't have soybeans, just wheat, corn, cotton, and feed that we called maize. Quote:

Maize is also called milo or grain sorghum. My husband grows this stuff. It's used for feed for pigs and chickens. Is this it?

Yep, that's it - what my granddad called maize. I'm sure milo is the new and improved plant - this was back in the 50's (wow, I'm old!).
Back then we didn't have a combine and couldn't afford to hire the feed cut by a combine. I remember the men in the field with sickles, cutting down the stalks at the ground and then they placed them with the heads up in a shock form, bottoms of the stalks out and heads together propping it up - here's a link to a picture of a corn shock http://family.webshots.com/photo/102...1040KnxlTRAoZW I couldn't post the picture. Then they would come back and cut the heads off - and I don't remember what they did with them then - took them off to market I guess because they disappeared! Goodness, that was a long time ago.
