My farmer and I are kind of like 80-year-olds at heart. We think concerts are too noisy, kids sass their parents too much and teenagers wear too little clothing.
We also like to drive around on the weekends, just like grandmas and grandpas do when they take joy rides in the country. {And I mayyyyy just use these as prime opportunities to con some ice cream out of him afterwards.)
Despite what people tell you -- especially when they're driving through Iowa -- the countryside is actually quite beautiful. And if you know what you're looking for, there's a fair amount to see: waterways, wild turkeys, trees, goats. You can see it all if you just have a little bit of curiosity.
