Early May Leanne Arrives in Iowa

We made the 18 1/2 hour trip from Florida to Iowa in a day. With Tilly, our pet finch, bouncing in the backseat the entire way. We arrived slightly messed, but unharmed in Iowa. This Florida girl quickly bundled herself in hand knit hats and mittens that had been nearly forgotten in the Sunshine state.

Once in Iowa we began juggling a farmhouse overhaul and the beginnings of our garden. Our records look something like this after our first week:

-onions planted: 500
-tomatoes planted: 40
-snakes macheted: 4
- cellphone reception: none









(Bryan finds a nest of bull snakes living under our porch. Which, in hindsight, explains the random snake sightings in the house.)
