Our back yard abuts a farmer's field, which was planted with feed corn this year. It grows to be about 9 or 10 feet tall before it gets harvested, and makes our yard more secluded; more private. The downside is that we sacrifice the view.
The farmer came today and began taking the corn out with his big machinery. As usual, he didn't quite maneuver to the edge of our lot, and left part of a row of corn standing. He missed another partial row about thirty feet out into the field, right behind our house.
I know this little bit of corn doesn't matter to him, but it bugs me, as we'll have to look at it for the better part of the next year. They seem to have taken a break, so I went out and cut those partial rows down, and hauled them over to where the corn is uncut, and still standing. I stood the stalks up in the standing corn, so that the harvester will get them on the next pass.
Now I have an unobstructed view again, but man are my arms itchy! I guess I need to go jump in the shower before we go to our picnic tonight....
