A Little trip

For Laura’s birthday Astrid wanted to take her to Laura Ingalls Wilder’s home in Missouri. Sig and I tagged along.  Today we visited Baker’s Heirloom Seed Farm at Mansfield, MO.  There are 100s of flower and vegetable gardens.  I loved it as I love plants.  

Laura and I are staying in Laura’s room.  Sig and Astrid have to stay in mean old Nelly Olson’s room.


These are gourds.  You can buy seeds of the plants.  The flowers are gorgeous.

The place we stayed was in Mansfield. It was an old pharmacy and has been converted into rooms. They served breakfast. Free and fabulous. It’s call The Weavers. It was decorated in a Laura Ingalls Wilder theme. It’s about three miles from the homestead. The homestead has a museum, the farmhouse, and the rock house. It’s totally interesting to explore if you love Laura Ingalls and history.
