Beautiful morning here in Waterloo. We left about 9:00 AM for the Amana Colonies. We should have known, though. The sunshine went away about 10 miles out of Amana, the temperature dropped to 71, and it rained until 2:00. We left around 1:00 because the lightning was so close and BIG that there was no way we were going to be out in a garden with it that close. We went to the General Store to waste some time, hoping the lightning would quit...then we went to Ox Yoke Inn for to-die-for raspberry pie/German Chocolate cake...then we went to the Smoke Shop...then we went to the Furniture Shop. Needless to say, it was still lightning, so we gave up and came home! No pictures of flowers - wet or dry! Got to Fairfax, just about 10 miles away...I took over driving and the rain stopped. When we got back to Waterloo, the sun was shining brightly and it was 85 here.
Our condo president was in the garage when we got home. He told us our neighbor right next door passed away last night. She had a stroke Thursday at a restaurant and was taken to Iowa City. She didn't make it. Her family was all here for a weekend family reunion. God bless her and them. We will miss her. She was so nice!
More later...
