I celebrate this year after year, but Straw Pools never get old.  Throwing mountains of clean, sneeze-free straw into the breezy fall air is just about as Midwestern as you can get.  Well, that, and swimming in our oceans.  Shh….don’t tell ANYONE.  We don’t want to get too many tourists over here, eatin’ our cornbread and fillin’ up our motels.
