Iowa has had its share of bad weather in recent weeks, with rain storms flooding half the state. Hopefully the people here are at the tail end of it. But if the last few days here are any evidence, bad things could still be on their way. My booth is nailed down to the pavement with big fat roofing nails - my good neighbor gave me the nails and the use of his hammer, and this prevented my art pieces from becoming floor mats.

Its morning just before the show and already the wind is gusting. Regardless of the stress coming with every burst of wind, the show has been fantastic and I hope to be back again next year.
