I've always loved Iowa City. There's so much diversity in a relatively small town. The shopping is fun and there are good restaurants. I love the eclectic little shops in campus town and the wonderful greenhouses on Hwy 1.
Iowa City is set in a lovely rural area, with a nearby Amish community which has some great stores, too. So, you can have the best of both worlds.
Our show went well. It was great to see Elizabeth for a few hours each day. She helped a lot at pick up time. Cindi had some beautiful things so it was fun to browse in her booth while helping her out. I did sell some things for her, too. :-)
John C is in Omaha and I have two days of work scheduled so we're getting even farther behind on the garden.
HOWEVER, I planted two blueberries today near the machine shed. I bought two beautiful raspberry bushes at Myers' greenhouse and got them planted, along with a rhubarb plant, in the bare patch in the south west yard.
Oh, and I planted a Casablanca Lily from Myers and a calla lily bulb from Paul's in Iowa City. I still have all Great Grandma Pilling's tuberous roses to plant, plus some lilies I started. AND all the garden plants and seeds.........and mowing.
Wednesday I'm taking Grandma to the hospital for her infusion and taking a friend in for an MRI. I'm also going to shop for primer and for paint for the bathroom.
