Leona ( 91 years old) had the breakfast ready when I got up. We had breakfast and went for a walk through the town. Walked right in the middle of roads, did not see a single car and in two miles walk covered the whole town. Everything is green, colorful and fence-less. I love the yards ( front and back) with no fences, one patch of green blending with the other and so on.
Drive to Eyota was an adventure in that Leona guided us though the country roads ( the lady ( she used the other word for the lady:) in the box...translation GPS) wanted to take us on the freeway and Leona insisted on country roads...she has to know, she grew up here before there was electricity, indoor toilets and such.
I wish i had taken pictures of rolling hills of farms of corns alternating with Soybean. Yes, Soybean is the "other" money making crop for the corporations. It does make the green colors rich and varied. We stopped for lunch at a famous restaurant called "TELUWAT"..excellent food and lots of it.
Drove some more relying on the "lady in the box" and paid price for not listening to Leona by getting lost at random places, but finally made it to Eyota where Jim, Becky,three dogs and twenty chickens were waiting. Had a wonderful dinner of home grown vegetable and fresh killed Deer...you read it right...Jim killed the Deer and we had it for dinner. I had Venison for the first time. My two cents is that , " it tastes like meat...nice flavor".
Lots of catching up and talking followed and now everyone is sleeping. So, good night...
Check out the pictures of giant tomatoes and chilies.....
