Fall in Wisconsin

Hi Everyone!

Tomorrow is the first day of winter, but you'd have a hard time sellin' that around here! We had a gorgeous early October (I think it is a gentle reminder of the beauty of this place, so you can remember something nice, long about February when snow shoveling would readily be given up in favor of a root canal! - it's tough!)

We had a great time celebrating Halloween (will the REAL Hannah Montana please stand up?), classic fall activities like a tour of the cranberry bogs and a several mile corn maze. And, of course, Aleah's birthday. She celebrated with some of her pals at the Fort McCoy bowling alley.

Then came the first snow - yeah!! And, look at it now! Our mailbox is not really short - it is just easily accessible when there is 2 1/2 feet of snow to climb up on! We are looking forward to a trip to Washington for Christmas, but it is snowing there too! Can't seem to get away from it :-)
