Walking around Sheldon, IA


Wednesday, Sept 14, 2016

We spent all day with Darrell and Lila at their house.  We spent the morning taking photos and preparing a kit car for sale.  Here it is covered to help protect it.

Lila fixed us a fantastic chicken lunch.  She had a hair appointment and had to take her mother to the doctor.  We stayed around visiting with Darrell until Lila got back and stayed a little longer. We left so they could have their evening together.

When we got home we decided to take a walk from the city RV park to the Floyd River that runs through town.


The city had this really nice wide walkway / bicycle path. As we left the RV park this was the route.


Our route took us beside some corn fields.  We noticed there was only 1 ear of corn per stalk.  That is what the farmers told us was ideal because the single ear would then be larger than if there were 2 ears per stalk.


About 1/2 our 2.5 mile walk was tree-lined.  It was very pretty. 
Our path took us along side a cattle yard.  P.U., it stunk.
 
Have you ever seen a curve warning sign on a walking path?


When we got into the open, this is the cloud formation we saw.  There is a storm moving in tonight.  Awesome!

We made it to the river and it was so unimpressive that we did not even take any pictures.


We are on our way back home.  Part of the tree lines path goes by the cattle yard.  We hurried through this part of the walk.


I stopped by the corn to give some perspective as to how tall the corn is.  I always am amazed at how tall the corn is.
 
Tic got some cool pictures of some ears of corn.  We did not peel these back, someone else had done so, we just took advantage of it.

We had a good walk.  It has been nice to have time to visit with family.  It seems when we are together I don't remember to take pictures.  Oh well.  We are enjoying visiting and that is the important part!
