Happy May Day!

I have hit a milestone in becoming an “official” Iowan by receiving my first May Day surprise.

A friend of mine had extra farm eggs and did a porch drop this week. And now I am looking up the city code on chickens. Several of our neighbors have chickens and the (neighbor’s) coop behind our house already drives the cats NUTS. It’s probably a fun/terrible idea.

Apparently Farmer’s Markets are allowed to be open again here in Iowa? I’m not ready. But if these organizations/farmers can make them work while including physical distancing measures, cool. I still have no visible germination on my pepper plants. And, while a little late, I’ve currently got some tomato seeds soaking to be planted. Let’s hope for one of those magical long, late Iowa summers.

RAYGUN is the best for making light of some polarizing situations (and, err, people). Of course I had to purchase a Resting Mask Face face mask. Also a portion of the proceeds of sales will go to local community food banks.
