Spent the morning helping Ed with some small jobs around the farm place. We even got to move some rocks which is a task with which I'm familiar. It's just fun to do farm things with a friend where our friendship first took off by comparing our lives growing up on a farm. Ed's a real farmer while I enjoy my hobby farm. Ed's one of the farmers to whom I turn for advice. 

    This afternoon we explored old tractors, an interest for us both. Then we visited an interesting nature center at Maquoketa. The day ended with dinner in a delightful setting next to Maquoketa State Park. A good time was had by all and that includes Al!

Takk for alt,
