Day 2150, November 29, 2015 – The Start

Day 2150Today was the start. The start of Christmas decorating. We have our tree on the deck with the snowman watching over it. We tried to finish up the Fall tasks, covering the ponds, putting stuff away, covering the pots, and making sure everything is closed up for the winter. This has been a sad few weeks. First, we had to take down and store the Halloween decorations, put up the Thanksgiving few things, then take down the Thanksgiving things, and now we start Christmas decorating. Time is really speeding by. In a few short weeks it will be 2016!

Day 2149, November 28, 2015 – Monticello

Day 2149We spent the day down in the place I was born in touring the country side, looking up the old homestead, having lunch and dinner with the foods I grew up with, and generally remembering the place I spent my first ten years on this rock floating through space. It is always good to reconnect once in awhile. We come back just about every year, but things change since I left 55 years ago. This image is of a farm outside Monticello that this farmer collects railroad items for his own track. But it sums up what has Monticello was, farms, cows and a railroad. Now 55 years later, there are still farms, just not as many, cows, not as many, and the railroad is gone replaced by a bike path. This little collection is all that remains of the railroad that used to run through town.

Day 2146, November 25, 2015 – November Flowers

Day 2146So after we got all that snow last weekend, it started to get warmer this week and the snow started to melt. Under the snow up popped these flowers?!?!?! It is November in Wisconsin! Snap-Dragons in November. I guess they did not know any better. They are a little worse for the wear, but they did try to brighten up our November.
