Last weekend, as I was loading up my car on Saturday morning at the end of a short visit to west-central Iowa, I stopped to take in the peace and beauty of my surroundings: a historic Iowa farm on what is now called the White Rock Conservancy.

It’s amazing!

Thank you, Tim! And you are so right! Makes it all the sillier that I retreated!
