Can You Help Me "Eat My Lawn?"

OK - we've been living in Iowa for just over a couple of years. We're surrounded by fields of corn and soy - mostly inedible - and we may have to now realize a dream: eradicating our lawn to make our little piece of land something we can eat.

It's just a shame to let it languish in it's current pristine lawn state - with little functionality except for it looks like everyone else's lawn!

We want organic veggies and fruit - and our local Hy-Vee has very little of that available. So - for a certain amount of time each year we could grow our own.

Alright, if you're the kind of person that would read or respond to this post you already know the story - and our lament is familiar to you.

Confessions of an Advertising Man by David Ogilvy

Confessions of an Advertising Man by David Ogilvy

I just started this book today. There's already little doubt in my mind why David Ogilvy had the impact he had on Madison Ave. He's self-aware and expresses himself confidently about others. Although I've done plenty of marketing over the years in my own businesses the bit of value I've only just now received from this famous author is that this guy thinks and acts in a simultaneously informed and inquisitive way! Who do you know in your life now who does this in a world-class, world-awareness way? I'm excited I picked this book up now - I think it's the right time and the right place for me to execute on ideas sparked by this new exposure. View all my reviews >>

Iowa Living

Moving to Iowa has been an interesting undertaking for a variety of reasons. To begin with the weather is consistently unpredictable. From tornadoes to simple rainfall the weather changes so often some locals simply say "If you don't like the weather, don't worry, it'll change."
