South Central Pennsylvania Corn Fields
Certainly, I’m so thankful for all the sweet compliments and words of appreciation. If you’re interested, you can find the soup recipe here. It seems fairly certain that here in Pennsylvania we adore chicken corn soup. Undeniably we have plenty of corn fields to prove it. It appears that it’s a Pennsylvania Dutch favorite here in Central PA.
This is surely one thing I love most about our area. There’s just something so mesmerizing about the beautiful fields, stunning farms and big blue skies. No matter where my life takes me here on earth I’ll always have a special place in my heart for this beautiful area.
The gorgeous red barns, creeks and landscape sometimes leave me speechless. Obviously, I’m Thankful to be a part of this beautiful area.
Also, speaking of fields and Central PA. I was at the local farmers market this past Saturday. If you’d like to get a glimpse and tour of the market come along for the ride. I went live in the market to show you around. Head over to the video and take a peek!
