I asked Dorothy if she'd let me share these photos she & Jeffery took when she went back to visit him in Iowa at the end of July. I'll let her tell you the story:

"The wall Jeffery is standing in front of is made of tile and is one of 6 panels along the side of the ceramic studio where they make them. Everything in Iowa is closed on Sundays or we'd have done more to see what the studio produces. The windmill I'm standing in front of is in the same town - Pella - where the windows are made. It's the cutest town.
I don't truly know if the butter sculptures are hollow, but they are in a refrigerated display so they don't melt. The lady works on them in the refrigerator and her hands are the heat that melts them as she wants. Like packing a snowball I guess, so I tend to think that the sculptures are not hollow. You could Google it!"
