Iowa Summer

This is Iowa in the summer...the intense heat of July and August shimmering over fields of corn and beans...
  - the unique double washing machine planted full of red geraniums in a farm yard near Pella, Iowa...
  - Myrna's neighbor's exotic chickens free-ranging in the back yard a few blocks from the center of town...
   -One of the pair of rabbits that live across the alley from Sue's garden...why she plants lettuce in boxes on a garden shelf!
 -This beautiful Amish garden near Frytown  north of Kalona, Iowa...like Grandma's with rows of flowers in front of the perfectly kept vegetable garden. 
A taste of why we live here.
