Mid-life crisis, pre-menopause, or just old age...my state of mind lately changes like the Wisconsin weather. Waukesha is a smaller town west of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It's a neat town with a private college, a really cool downtown shopping district with lots of galleries and antique stores.

Fall in Wisconsin

The weather in Wisconsin is always interesting--the temperatures and weather patterns can change at the drop of a hat. But fall in Wisconsin needs to be experienced! The crisp smell as you crunch fallen leaves underfoot during a walk in the woods, the smell of a burning pile of leaves, the unseasonably warm spells and the cold snaps that make warm tomato soup and a grilled cheese sandwich taste all the better. Is there anything better than Badger football or Green Bay Packer football? The annual ritual of raking leaves to the curb, only to see the neighbor's unraked leaves blow onto your property for disposal. :-( We saw our temps fall from 72 degrees Farenheit to 35 degrees Farenheit this week. The winds kicked up my neat pile of leaves at the curb and squirrels are rooting around in the yard to store their finds for winter. The vivid leaf colors of brillant red, dull orange, muted shades of yellow. Yes, I love living in Wisconsin. Especially this time of year!
