This week I decided there must be a secret society in Belle Plaine with a challenge to see who can create the most beautiful yard with gorgeous flowers, nicely mowed yards and patriotic additions.  Such a welcome  relief without 115 degree Phoenix weather and while your plants wilt, you sadly blow leaves off  your rock yard. Yes, I love rainstorms, thunder, and windy days.  We’ll address snow much later in the year.

Here is a great opportunity. We would like to get a day care started in Belle Plaine.  This is not meant to put any babysitters who work out of their home out of business but more like perhaps two or three home sitters who’d like to join in and work jointly with others to add a much needed business to our town.  Space is leasing only. It would be certified by the state and have many amenities which are sometime difficult to organize if one person is doing it all.  In fact, there is a potential of two buildings I can think of that could be used for this purpose. Just an idea that could easily become a reality.  If you are interested, please call me at 319-434-6481.

We can share ideas.
