Such a lovely day for a drive through the Indiana countryside. We made our usual predictable remarks about what was growing in each FIELD, the speculation of town dwellers as to what was soybeans or something else. I am certain any LOCAL farmer would have laughed heartily at us. As we came around a curve, we were abruptly jolted out of BANAL chatter by the sudden appearance of an unusual figure. We were so startled, that we had to pause. Was that… could it be… surely not! A scarecrow in PAPAL robes?!? We started giggling and amused ourselves for several more miles with commentary and speculation as to how and why this Pope scarecrow came to be. Pope Cornus I?? Truly outstanding in his field… You get the gist.
