It's been raining buckets around here, on Friday almost 3" fell. Life still must go on especially for a long planned road trip to a day lily farm. So off we went in the torrential rain in search of the perfect red day lily. We drove on even when the rain was a downpour. We drove on through flooded roads and finally found the farm, Five Acre Day lily Farm near Tolono. The owner was shocked at such crazy plant seekers but was a good sport about trudging out into the rain and mud to dig the perfect lily called Bright Velvet. We slogged around the display beds snapping pictures while we waited. We thanked him profusely and promised to come back soon. The day continued with a trip to a green house for a load of mulch, they also thought we were crazy, and some retail therapy. A visit to the Courier Cafe for an old fashioned sit down dinner and a stop at the Sidney Dairy Barn for ice cream sundaes finished off the evening. Kathy and I are old friends and have shared many strange and funny adventures so we had many laughs about being crazy old ladies who once they set their minds on an adventure will not be deterred by a little rain, sleet, snow or dark of night.
