As high as an elephant's eye


This is not an edible corn but a decorative variety called "Broom Corn." This stalk grew to 12 feet. One summer a fellow farm hand and I went to sleep next to the rows of broom corn in the garden, for, when their dry leaves rustle in the wind, it is a most sweet lullaby.

Yeah!!! A fellow musical lover! If only we could sing the whole soundtrack together. Alas, my hubby won't do musicals.
