This pretty much sums up the area that we live in. We are close to a nuclear power plant and there are lots of high voltage trees “growing” on the endless corn and soybean fields here on the plains. After a while you do appreciate the beauty of the plains…

Living in the plains of the Midwest does have its benefits.  I do miss the Atlantic Ocean on the south shores of Long Island… the mountains of upstate New York…  but I have come to appreciate the many beautiful horizons of our town: Minooka.

So, geographically speaking, this pretty much sums up the part of the mid-west that we live in. Lots of corn and soy bean fields… lots! I must admit, that after living here a few years, I have come to appreciate the beauty of the plains. Having a 360 degree horizon is cool… and… well… there’s the corn…. and…uh… soy beans….?…..    🙂
