Greetings from a VERY wet and flooded Iowa! I apologize for the extended "radio silence" - we are well here, and safe (currently) from flooding. The past month has gone by in a whirldwind of tornado warnings, storms, thunder, bus tours, gardening (when possible), rain, more rain, flash flood warning, roads closed due to flooding, and still more rain. On top of that, my (Maggie's) computer crashed, so I haven't been able to update the website or blog. (A new laptop is on the way so I will be getting back to our regularly scheduled blogs a enewsletters as soon as possible).

But folks are starting to call and email to make sure wer're okay, so - we just wanted to let you know - WE ARE FINE! Wet, moldy, soggy, muddy, humid, and slightly cranky, but fine. :)
