Yes indeed, Delhi township is pronounced Dell-High
We have a small town of Pompeii, which they pronounce POMP-E-Eye.
Growing up in the Piedmont of Maryland I always thought Michigan was flat, but really it is glacial till and occasional moraine features. SO maybe a gentle roll now and then and some hills here and there. Go out to those Great Plains, and yes, an anthill is towering.
Maybe I am confused about the wheat crops. The fields that were green earlier, have ripened, turned golden and dried, and have been harvested. SO whichever replacement crop it is has been planted and is springing up with little green blades. I appreciate a lovely green field, but a just harvested wheat field of stubble is somehow handsome to me. We do have fields of oats, but they are less common than soy, corn, and alfalfa.
yes, up one road from the wastewater plant is a landscaping supply place, with mountains of cedar chips, mulch, stone, sand, and yes pig shit. We used to raise hogs at my country place, familiar with their poop. But driving through the spread out farms of Michigan State Univ, I can get close up with horse and cow manure. Sheep poop is unobtrusive. Horse and cow poop have a nice earthy aroma. But pig poop smells not unlike human poop. Drive by a dairy barn, and it is a country aroma. Drive by a pig farm and it just stinks.
