My sweet 3-month old pup - runs in and out and thru the corn stalks. He plays hide and seek.
He taunts and teases...begging someone to come and to join him.

Soon - he'll be too big. These games will feel like child's play.

It was just yesterday - I watched as the farmers sowed their fields with seed.
One waved as I passed by. Another called out and assured that it would be knee high by 4th of July.
An old farmer's saying - I guessed. I nodded and smiled...and laughed along with him.

There will come a day - I thought - that this corn will touch that sky.

But on this day - it's still reaching...and stretching...and growing.
