The corn is as high as an elephants eye...... by happypat

The corn is as high as an elephants eye......

This is the field I walked through a few weeks ago at the start of lockdown.
The wheat crop is doing really well & the lovely song from Oklahoma came to mind!

I love all those musicals Sound of Music, Oklahoma, Gigi, The King & I, South Pacific, etc...showing my age here but those music & lyrics never die.

Three good things:
1. A good walk in the sun.
2. Lots of people & dogs to say hello to on my way.
3. Toad in the Hole for tea...oh & I made some scones.
Oh I haven’t heard that phrase in ages. I will sing that song all day! I loved the movie!

A lovely golden image. Have you found people friendlier when you are out walking? I think everyone seemed friendlier while keeping a safe distance.

Nostalgia isn't what it used to be!

@beryl Yes I’m sorry Beryl I do realise I have set in motion a mind choir!! To be in the chorus even must have been quite some thing!

@happypat - Fun and happy times Pat !

I love all those songs too - beautiful and real music! Nowadays its all just shouting and weird music! I have heard if a song goes round and round in your head, chew gum to get rid of it!
The phrase is very apt to your photo!
