It's heading your way! Blizzard in northern Iowa last night and this morning, 50mph wind, and a 40ºF temp drop! 😬

Hoping for a thaw! Yuck to the freezing rain. I'm hearing that climate change will bring more of that to the upper midwest. We're used to cold and snow.

While looking through some projects from the past, I found this animated poem I made for a project our school's excellent art teacher created during the 1st fall of the pandemic. She asked educators to "make some art" to hang for a month in a local coffee shop. She wanted to show the middle school students that tho these stuffy teachers weren't "artists" that didn't stop us. I submitted this poem about my mom with a QR code to the video.
