COOPER, Iowa, March 24, 2015 — While Carla Offenburger and I spent a recent week in Texas staying with our granddaughters, Emily Brewer, of Jefferson, took over for us at our Simple Serenity Farm here in west central Iowa. She brought her camera along, and spent some time photographing the budding signs of spring.

Besides being our friend and Carla’s co-worker in community relations at Greene County Medical Center, Brewer also serves as webmaster here at Offenburger.com.
Enjoy her spring photos below here.
The old barn’s 115th spring is budding. Will it be its last?
New neighbor gets a look around.
Lilac bushes out front are budding, too.
What is it about old farmhouses that the simpler they are, the better they look?
Having the Raccoon River Valley Trail just up the rise is a real treasure.
More buds.
Sunrise in the countryside.
