Thank you Janeen, for the feature in the Iowa group. I will always miss Iowa, a great place to live spring, summer and fall.Great people, and the best dirt roads ever to drive and shot photos from. I will not miss winter...

A great find of this old tool, swept away by the onslaught of plastics. Still nothing better than a well made-hand made broom. Featured "Just Plain Old" 2/3/12

Thank you! I just walked into the broom shop and the comb was sitting in the window ready for its close-up.
