Yesterday was a beautiful summer day in early spring. Just a fluke it seems since today is thirty degrees cooler and rainy. Not that I'm complaining. We need the rain because optimists that we are, we already have quite a bit of veggies planted in our garden and five tomatoes set out. The ground is cold but dry and needed the moisture. Today the apricot tree is a mass of pink, tulips and hyacinths are in bloom and the bush cherries are snow white. Now that makes me an optimist because I know warm weather is not far behind.
We had our pick of Friday or Saturday to go to Kalona to see the quilt show and tour the Amish grocery stores, antique shops and countryside. Hoping that the weather man was right about Friday, we went yesterday and were real pleased with the day. There is something surreal about parking next to a horse and rockaway or eating in a booth with an Amish man waiting for his food in the next booth and an Amish woman serving us. Though Amish driven horses with rockaways and springboards were out and about, the fields were being prepared by tractor (with steel wheels) driven equipment. I've read the Amish are fifty years behind the modern times. To them, their tractors must be quite an improvement over horses.
