Seeing Miss Effie (and her flowers)

July 26, 2010 by Kim Woodward

Jen at Notes from the Heartland and I took a little road trip out to see Miss Effie on Sunday! It was her birthday and she threw herself a shin-dig. Complete with homemade cake and ice cream (that was all it took to snag me).

PSA: If you are local, from Iowa or driving through Iowa or any nearby state, do yourself a favor. Visit Miss Effie’s. She’s awesome. Her flower farm is Ahhhmazing. The views, to die for.

There were a few special vendors there for her partay. It was fun to look around. 
And, Miss Effie even has chickens. You all know how I feel about chickens? (Love.them.)
This little one kept asking me to take it home. So pretty.

I can’t wait to go back and pick flowers. You get to bring home a bucket. Isn’t that awesome?

So, I was glad to finally get out to see Miss Effie’s farm. It was all I dreamed it would be.


Truly magical.

    What a fun day, those flowers are gorgeous. Still working on B with the Chickens, he still says we’re not zoned for them. Zone shmone. Get some chickens please so I can live vicariously through you.

    How cool. That is one fancy chicken! Have you been to Key West? The decedents of Earnest Hemingway’s chickens run free all over the island.

    I was there too – until my brood decided it was naptime and therefore got all cranky on me. 🙁 Hope you got some carrot cake … it was deeee-lish!!
