middle of the midwest

Ryan and I, on a trip back to Normal, IL, stopped at a gas station because the corn field next to it was just all too inviting. For all my time living in Illinois, I have actually never seen corn on a stalk up close before. So that was pretty exciting. We tromped around in the fields and tried to see how lost into the corn we could get, but it's actually a lot more dense than one would think! And I don't know why I thought it would be a good idea to go running through a freshly plowed field with 3 inch heels on. I guess I'm still a child at heart, no matter what's on my feet.

As much as I enjoy living near the city, there is something so romantic about living near fields and crops. I just imagine the sun rising waking me up in the morning, pouring over the land like something out of "The Little House on the Prairie." I'd probably go stir crazy after a couple of days in the middle of nowhere, but it'll always be a fantasy of mine.
