Pictures of Home

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.

Janet, i loved seeing all the pictures! It's so different to what we are use to here, the buildings are gorgeous, i love the park, and adore your mom's home, it looks like a cosy cottage type of home, it really is lovely!

Yes, Mandy, it's a very small 2 bedroom and she and my father raised us four kids in it. Very crowded..indeed. I would love to see pictures of your town Mandy and the rest of you all too.

Janet,

I love your idea of pictures of our towns.

My camera finally quit right after I posted Annie's pix. Canon sent me a refurbished camera for $100 because I wasn't under the warranty anymore.
I have it in my bag and want to take pictures of my new area. It's just beautiful.

Janet · 09-12-2008, 03:42 PM

Well you get out there then and take some pictures for us girl!!! I would love to see more of your beautiful area, plus what you've done with the house. MOST important are pictures of Max and Annie.....you knew that right??? LOL

Will take pics for sure!

I have quite a few pix already, but I'm not finished. It's fall foliage season up here and it is just breathtaking!

I have pulled onto the shoulder of the road quite a few times and just clicked away.

Janet · 09-29-2008, 03:20 PM

Judy I bet it's just beautiful. I've never seen the different season except right here in Indiana. I hope you'll post lots and lots of pictures.
