Kinda like a Norman Rockwell thing...

Well, it's that time of year here in Shelby County -- time to gather the wheat and as always, time to see huge rolls of straw in the fields.  For a number of years we would jokingly say they looked like big elephant turds lying all over the place.  Not so anymore...

We have come up with a new description -- Tootsie-roll Minis.  They look like huge Tootsie roll pieces .  Another name we came up with was those little round pretzel things with cheese in the middle, only much bigger.

Anyway, another marker of the passing of time is out there for us to enjoy.
