The air here, especially after a summer rain, carries the clean scent of damp earth and the faint, sweet perfume of unseen wildflowers blooming in the ditches and along the edges of the corn rows. Small, clear streams, fed by the watershed of the surrounding moraines, meander through the terrain, their banks lined with sturdy oaks and maples that offer dappled shade on warmer days.
