I am freshly home from a wonderful journey to Wisconsin's North Woods. Along the drive from my friend's home in Milwaukee, we came across this rainbow (actually, a double rainbow!). I think it is appropriate that there is gold at the rainbow's end, don't you?
I was surprised that even "Up North" the colors are still in the stages of turning. I am glad that I did not miss them, as they are spectacular. Well, duh! I found the whole area to be simply amazing. Paul Bunyan and his Blue Ox knew a good place when they saw one, that's for sure!
I was also hoping that I would not miss the 'peak' season here at home. Again, I am not disappointed, the fall colors are hanging on. How long remains to be seen, as today has been rather flaky (as in occasional snow flakes).
....and now to wax sentimental.....
Sweet October, please don't be in a hurry to become history. You are my favorite month, and if I could stretch your glory days to last until Christmas, I surely would. Then it would be "adios, mi amigo", as Christmas means Winter Snow.
Although taken out of state, I feel that this picture is appropriate for OCJ because the portraits of country life, country folk, and country foods described by Edward Harris Heth in his book, Wisconsin Country Cookbook and Journal, is the inspiration for this blog.
Marcheta *its got me, Babe
