Incredible

You are all I think about and all I dream about.

It is embarrassing how excessively I bring you up in conversation,

and my love for you,

the raw and true you,

is so natural and obvious to me

that I am shocked anyone can walk past you without stopping to stare.

The buildup has been too long.

I peel back the layers that cover you and admire your succulent curves.

I know this can’t last forever,

but right here and right now

you are the only thing that matters

and you are the only thing I can not get enough of.

You taste so sweet on my lips and tongue

I become like a ravenous animal

nibbling and licking

and getting your essence and juices all over my face.

But I don’t care and I can’t stop.
You are my sweet, sweet corn.

You are Incredible.

    Fall Crops

    By mid-August I have changed my box of seeds. The last of the summer crops are planted, and it’s time for the fall ones. Although a  few rows and beds of cabbage and lettuce are in to make transplants, I patiently wait until August 15 before I go crazy.

  • Hellbenders

    Have you ever seen a hellbender? It is a two-foot long salamander that lives in the creeks that flow up to the Barren River. I’ve seen them twice, about 25 years ago, in the Long Hungry Creek.  The state biologist and the curator of the Nashville Zoo at Grassmere is looking for signs of hellbenders. We…

  • Situation Much of middle Tennessee crop land is misused or not used at all.
