a rolling pumpkin

The trees in Wisconsin are ready for winter.........stick trees with their leaves already in a pile or blowing wildly through the air and down the street, ready to stand rigid against the bleak, gray sky.

There is a tree that sits proudly outside of Teri's kitchen window that caught my eye. It is small in statue and covered with red berries. She said that the berries stay all winter and then just at the right time, when spring breaks through, the beautiful waxwing birds come and eat every one of the berries so that the green leaves can emerge.

Breakfast this morning was a masterpiece......Bubba cooked up massive plates full of fresh bacon and sausage and Teri made some really delicious waffles. This trip will be remembered for all of the great eating.

The trip to Lambeau field was fun. They were hosting a Hallowween carnival for the community. Lucy came home with a small pumpkin. It just made a lot of noise rolling down from the top of the stairs.

Harry has eyelashes now and is filling out nicely. I am waiting for his first smile before we leave. Hopefully we will see him again soon.

We leave tomorrow for Louisville. Our trip is moving right along. It has been so good to not have a care in the world for a few days.
