Spent some time early this morning planting flowers in the Cottage Garden. This year I’m planting quite a bit of celosia in the garden, including a few varieties from @floretflower. Yay! And I’m happy to report, the Cottage Garden planting is officially done. It feels so good. Now we nurture the flower babies. And wait for growth and blooms. 🌱 There are a couple big perennials I wanted to move, but may or may not get to them until next spring. It’s ok. The garden won’t be perfect, but hey, none of us are perfect. I am going to love the cottage garden just the way she is. 💫 Happy Sunday friends! 😍 #iowa #cottagegarden #bochnerfarms #bochnerflowers #celosia #iowaflowerfarm #gardening #gardeninglife #cutflowergarden #thisisiowa #indianolaiowa #exploreindianola #dsm #desmoinesiowa #midwest #midwestliving #cottagegardenflowers

A rare opportunity to photograph a Killdeer with its babies - Cedar Rapids, Iowa near the Roller dam area. [Common, large plover. Slender shape with long wings and tail. Look for two black breast bands, unique among plovers in its range. Often nests near human development: parking lots, school roofs, road edges, and farms, usually on bare gravel. - Merlin App] #thisisiowa #iowagrams #traveliowa #captureiowa #visitiowa #iowaphotographer #nature #linncounty #iowadnr #crtourism #cedarrapids @kimreynoldsia @kcrgtv9 @iowadnr @outdoorphotomag @traveliowa @rdryanphotography #canonphotography @onlyiniowa #outdoors #iowaphotography @iowasnewsnow #keepiowabeautiful #killdeer #avian
