It’s wheat harvest time in Walldorf, which does an Oklahoma boy’s heart good. As my traditional path to work is obstructed by construction, I’ve been hoofing it through the “Western Passage” of late (the westernmost pedestrian bridge over B39).
One (pleasantly) shudders to think of the quantity of
Hefeweizen that could be brewed from this field alone.
The area around Walldorf is still quite rural, and I hope it stays that way. The construction I referred to will see a housing development replace sprawling corn fields – kind of a pity. SAP is the fourth largest software company in the world but has wheat, asparagus, rapeseed and corn growing within a hundred meters or so of its headquarters.
The fields directly around the campus are overrun with wild flowers, which made for a pleasant commute before they were summarily chopped and bailed last week. Guess we’re moving into the final stages of summer. Where has this one gone?
In a few weeks, we’ll head to Brazil, where the final stages of Winter are sure to fly by as well…
