Lake View

Cone Flowers

These beautiful coneflowers were growing

in a butterfly garden at Lake Iowa County Park.

I am amazed at the beauty one can find

at the town, county and state parks in Iowa.

I've found that the county parks are really

underrated and are very worth taking

a second and third look at.

They are often underused and in

beautiful condition. 

Lake Iowa is certainly no exception.

Check out this park near Millersburg 

and Ladora, Iowa. 

Always Flowers

There are always flowers

for those

who want to see them.

To Everything There is a Season

To everything there is a season,

a time for every purpose under heaven.

Ecclesiastes 1:3

 

A Family's Way of Life

An old sexist saying:

"Love is the thing that enables  a woman to sing while she

mops up the floor after her husband has walked across it in his barn boots."

Most farms here in the Midwest are a family ordeal, a family's way of life,

and the woman is just as likely to be out in the barn in her barn boots

or out running the combine. Farming is a family affair.
