Spring in Iowa

Many of the lawns, including ours, have been mowed for the first time. There are lots of daffodils blossoming and Pat's tulips opened last week.

This past weekend, we had the first significant rain since we've been back. We certainly needed it!

And a sure sign of Spring: tornadoes. There were a few small ones sighted 10 to 25 miles north of us yesterday. They did damage a very few buildings, but no one was hurt.

Either a tornado or strong winds hit a county campground about 20 miles from us. One trailer was totally demolished and huge trees uprooted.

The leaves seem slow in coming out, possibly because of the lack of rain. Now they have no excuse.

Spring has arrived in Iowa.
