Earlier this month when we were in Iowa we visited the town of Pella - yes, Pella windows are made there.  There is a town ordinance that all the town buildings are suppose to have a Dutch Facade.  There is also a working windmill downtown Pella where they make flour that is used in local bakeries.  Walk with me on the tour of the windmill.

    Thanks for showing us the windmill. I like the thumbnail, and "Windmill Wheel" has nice colors. "Under the stairs" is a good find, but had you been a guy, I might have been afraid to open it. ;-)

    Windmill in the sun is my favorite, and love the scroll work in under the stairs! Thanks for the walk!

    It is a very neat set, but I would say Under the stairs is the best. Great Job,Jo! Daman
