Last night, the rest of the family arrived,
and we enjoyed a nice visit!
After breakfast this morning, we headed out for a little tour.
First we visited the new museum at Eldon, Iowa.
Eldon is where Grant Wood was inspired by
a small home with a Gothic window.
The rest is "history!" :-)

Next, we visited Lengacher's Greenhouse near Lebanon.

The hanging basket took all the extra room in the trunk,
so some of us held our plants on our laps! :-)

in Cantril, Iowa. This is a Mennonite grocery/quilt/variety store.
I'm sure if you can't find what you want there,
it hasn't been created!
We ended up at our own homes this afternoon...
I planted my flowers, already!
Another nice day.
:-)

Nice trip - looks like that greenhouse had some irresistible plants!
That particular greenhouse is fun to visit. The entire family seems to help out with the business.
Well written article.
