An Iowa Summer
Summertime in Iowa: it's fresh sweet corn right out of the field, watermelons in a tub of ice water on the porch, and playing croquet in the back yard in the cool evening until the fading light calls the game. Most of all, it's long, languorous afternoons, ideal for wandering the shady paths of the garden, and maybe having a catnap afterwords.
