Better late than never

Last week, we took a drive to Decorah, Iowa with friends and had a great time as usual with them.   We had lunch upon arriving at the Angry Pickle; they had decent sandwiches so we all walked away full, no need for dessert.   :)

After walking around and viewing a few shops, we headed to our ultimate destination, "Seed Savers".   This was a first time visit for them and a second visit for us.  Walking through their gardens and inspecting all the variety of plants, both vegetable and flowers was an enjoyable way to spend the afternoon. 

I'm including a few pictures:

Vegetable garden plot at front entrance


Spider Flower

Another garden

Chicken house


Love these, want some planted at the new house when it is finally built!



 
 
After a short drive to view the orchard section and the greenhouses, we headed to Whippy Dip for ice cream, yum!  Great end to the day. Then off to home we headed with plenty of conversation to make the trip back go fast.
 
If you ever get to the Decorah area, check out Seed Savers, even for a non-green thumber, like myself it is very pleasant, educational and you will walk away wanting to plant many things in your yard.   :)
 
Thanks Friends for a wonderful time!!!
