The kitten would have needed more than a wire fence yesterday to stop the blowing snow so it better go find a wooden fence instead.

As the harvest season continues, barns start reappearing which had been hidden from the road by fields of crops. I love this matching silo next to the barn.

The Bald Eagle has been the national emblem of the United States since 1782 and while not really bald, their white-feathered heads gleam in contrast to their chocolate-brown body and wings. At one time, the word “bald” meant “white,” not hairless. Young bald eagles attain adult plumage in about five years so the young are often overlooked without their ‘bald’ heads. One adult and two immature bald eagles were hanging out by the side of the road and this one is about two years old.

This old truck reminds me of something that Ma and Pa Kettle would drive except it is missing the kids and critters hanging off of it too.

Nestled in the Baraboo Bluffs near the Wisconsin River, a small ravine can be found as part of the historic Durward’s Glen, which includes a church, a grotto, residences, a barn, small cemetery, an outdoor way of the cross, religious statues, and walking trails.
The property was the home of Bernard Durward, a painter and poet, and his family from 1862 until 1932 when it was sold and became a seminary. The glen was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 7, 1978.

When out ‘leaf peeping’, normally people are drawn to the bright reds and oranges so the yellows are often overlooked even though they add some bright sunny colors in the autumn landscape.

You think about baby critters in the spring but there young born in the late fall too, like the new batch of six kittens in the barn or this little day old llama, who seems to be trying to figure out how to use its long legs.

Along a lake shore there are sometimes unique rock formations that stand out and where given names centuries ago. Miners Castle is one of the named points of the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore on Lake Superior but there are other interesting rocks which get ignored as people walk the trail to view the ‘named’ rock formation. But this ‘little’ rock, which is taller than I am, caught my eye and should get a name too!

On the weekend, I saw a lot of big equipment harvesting corn and it seems like the machinery gets bigger and bigger each year. But here and there, you can see some corn harvesting methods like what my mom would have done when she was young. By taking bundle of cornstalks, and stacking in a teepee-style pile, the corn shocks allow the ears of corn to dry more until it can be stored without spoiling.
