Fall in Wisconsin

It seems we keep ourselves pretty busy,  at least time gets away from me quickly.  Fall is quickly moving by here in Wisconsin.   Chris and I were camping the last 12 days with our friends Noel and Jo Ann.   And the trees and vegetation changed color a lot during that time. Someone had predicted very little color because of the drought this year.   But as goes with predictions, they were wrong.  The colors are beautiful and we enjoyed our time in the countryside.  N & J’s daughter Tiff and son in law Steve joined us for a week.  I worked everyday, the park is closer to work than my drive from home!  But I tried to hurry back for happy hour, seems I always missed the beginning.   We did get a couple games of golf in which was very enjoyable.   And lot’s of good food, campfires and cocktails!   Now home again, for a few days.  Chris has the trailer cleaned up for the winter.   I have 5 face cords of wood in the driveway that will need to be moved.  But yesterday was another planned outing!   My annual Packer game with my homebrew buddies.   We had a full day. Lot’s to eat, a fair amount to drink.  Lambeau field is always wonderful.  And we saw a Packer win, topped off by the UW Madison marching band and their 5th quarter.   It just doesn’t get any better than that.

And this week we head off to see sister Marie!  So the fun continues. It sounds like the weather is beautiful there, and we will happily leave behind an artic front coming down from Canada.   Warm it up please before we return!
