Hanging On

 We've actually been having some beautiful fall weather around here. It has been around 70 degrees and sunny.

 The days are getting shorter.....

 The mornings are crisp....

 Days on the front porch are gone until spring.

I'm going to hang on to every bit of it, since the "w" word is just around the corner.

People always tell me, "it's Wisconsin, get used to it." I've been here for 46 years.....I think I understand the weather here.

I know that I live in Wisconsin and it is too cold here for me most of the time. I was born here and actually built a house on land that was part of my parent's dairy farm.

The only way I would move somewhere warmer is if a couple hundred of my family and friends would move with us.

So I stay here and be cold......all for the love of family.

  5. I'd say that's a pretty good reason to stick around. Especially for that cutie in that adorable hat and polka dot vest.

  6. What a sweetie. Who braided her hair? It looks so perfect that way.

    I love fall. I hate cold. I could never live anywhere there were not four seasons. And I realize that makes no sense. :)

  8. Your pics even look "cold" ! :) It's cold in the south too ... warming up to 70 in the days.

    Thanks so much for sharing this sweet girl with us. I think you're smart to stay near her!

    Have a great day! Is it Friday yet?

    Much love...

  11. AWW! Such a precious baby girl! (But don't tell her I said 'baby'!) Adorable!

    I have been here in Tx for 22 yrs and I don't think I can move from here either! You don't miss the warm and I don't miss the snow!! I grew up in snow and I must say, I'd rather have the Central Texas way!

    Love Di ♥

  14. Yes, the only reason I deal with winter here in Roanoke is because this is where my husband is happy and where he chooses to work. My bones ache, but I do love the beauty of the area.

    Such fun photos you have today. She's a cutie pie!

  20. Sounds familiar. I can't stand the cold and while I love my family and Cleveland - I would move someplace warmer in a heartbeat if I could bring everyone with me. I think San Diego is a wonderful city too and if I were to move there, I think I could be happy visiting Cleveland every once in awhile.

    Stay warm this winter!

Sprinkler Fun

 What do we do on hot summer days without a pool?  We get out the sprinkler and have some fun!         ...
