Look at the picture again. Do you see Ella standing there in her bright pink raincoat? No, you can't - and she's only 3 rows in!!!

This time of year is so noisy in the cornfields. It's actually dangerous for farmers wandering in the field checking on the corn. A farmer can actually sneak up on a bear in a cornfield in the fall. You can imagine how bad a scenario that is, bears don't like to be surprised. The leaves rustle so much you can't even really hear people calling.
I don't think Colin realizes just what would happen if Ella wandered into the cornfield. I would find her, come hell or high water. And if I had to knock down every stalk of corn in the field to do it, I would. I don't care if it would cost thousands for Colin to buy corn all winter for the pigs. No corn would be safe until my baby was too.

I never thought about the dangers of a cornfield. That does sound scary!
I knew she would disappear quickly, I just didn't expect it only 3 rows in, especially in her pink jacket. I find some farm families WAY too casual about their kids. I read somewhere that farm kids have a 90% greater chance of dying at home that urban kids!!
