Black Friday shoppers might have seen the sunrise, unless they were the very early shoppers who were inside the store long before the sun was up.

The Thanksgiving Day meal tomorrow might include a turkey as the main course but cranberries may also be the table. Most of the cranberries in the state were harvested last month before freezing temperatures. These cranberries, after being stripped from the vines, float on the water as they are rounded up near the pump to load them unto trucks.

There are no horns on these critters for the deer hunters to find but there are some tails. The Katahdin breed of sheep was developed in the United States for a meat sheep that did not require shearing. In cold winter they grow a thick coat which is then shed in the warm seasons. Their name comes from Mt. Katahdin, the highest peak in Maine, the state where the breed was developed.

November is National Model Railroad Month and on a cold, blustery winter day, playing with model train indoors might be a nice treat. The amazing detail and hours that people put into their work can create a wonderful mini-world where life moves along the tracks. This model train set is in the Bayfield Heritage Association in Northern Wisconsin and depicts a historic snapshot of Bayfield including the industries of sandstone quarrying and logging.

My wanderings on back roads often have me stopping to take a photo of an old barn. And sadly, many of the barns I have photographed over the years no longer exists so it is a wonderful surprise to run across a barn years later with a new coat of paint. This one also received a new roof since the last time I saw it six years ago.
