Little Pups on the Prairie

We headed out at quarter past six for our morning walk around the prairie.   It's been relatively cool lately, but today is supposed to be a hot one so we wanted to go on our long walk in the cool morning air.  There's a statue of Grammie Jill in her younger days stark naked looking out over the prairie.

We were out for a good hour and a half, but Roxie was eager to get home to her little ones.  They're as pretty as a prairie sunflower and will be 5-weeks-old on Sunday.

Doesn't your pooch deserve one of these?  I know I do!

Unexpected Pleasures

We were driving down the highway in Iowa when we passed a sign for the L. T. Organic Farm Restaurant.  It was on one of those highway signs that usually tells you there is a McDonalds, Cracker Barrel, Taco Bell, etc. available at the next exit.

Now, this was no chain restaurant.   Family run and slightly funky.  We decided to give it a try.  Picnic tables on the lawn for al fresco dining with your dogs.  We were hooked.  A tad expensive for lunch $17.99 and cash only.  The food was good and fresh and the falafel were made of split peas not chick peas!   You get a combo plate of all the items listed on the board.   Vegetarian or with Chicken.
