Within 10 miles of here!

Some working girls passing in front of a corn field en route to the barn!
The other morning my sweet husband and I decided to go out to breakfast very early, before the troops at home were up. We drove to the town of Bridgeton, which is only 10 miles from here. On the way I decided to get some pictures of the fields of different crops we were passing to share with you, so here goes.

                 Tomatoes                    



Asparagus


More corn- it's everywhere! (also view of my bum hand!!)
Boating anyone?
Flowers in the ribs of what was their greenhouse
Grapes
Peaches
 
Soy beans
Christmas trees! (only 5 months to go!)

A sod farm

 The sprinklers to water some field of crops
There are a few I missed, like the field of carrots, potatoes, shrubs, and an apple orchards. And zucchini! There's tons of zucchini! It grows like weeds! But that's another blog!


These were worth the drive! Blueberry pancakes at the Golden Pidgeon Diner!
The weight watchers diet went out the window, just temporarily!
