I don't get very far with my continuation of the window cleaning project.   During the afternoon, we take a drive in the country -- west on Airport Road to Cross Plains, to 14 west, 79 north, 16 east until we eventually find the Tree Farm, a "pick-your-own" market located on a hilltop a few miles west of Springfield Corners.  We buy pumpkins and gourds, but I veto the cornstalks.

"There's no room to put them inside the van, Hon."

At Larry and Martha's, Michael is just about ready to fall asleep when we arrive.  Andy is rather rambunctious, filling up our hosts' quiet time with his antics.  Back home, John Dickert joins us for supper, and he and JoAnna discuss her run for a county board seat.

Someone should start a pool as to when this building will finally topple. (It's just a stone's throw -- be careful! -- from the Interstate, a few miles south of where 90/94 & 39 separate.)



If I told you there is an elephant hiding in the picture, would you believe me?


Two words. Slasher movie. Or maybe just one. Chainsaw.


My first drive on Columbia County Highway U after 31 years of living in Wisconsin. Had to stop and take in this view.



I definitely like the landscaping framing better.


The Merrimac ferry, which Gerry & the Pacemakers never sang about. Everyone obeys the sign. Even me while taking this picture.

If you tilt your head to the right, Lake Wisconsin looks like a donkey about to suck its thumb. . (Yeah, I know.)

A sign in downtown Merrimac announced that state highway 78 to Prairie du Sac was closed. LOCAL TRAFFIC ONLY. If the ferry had not been operating, I would have added some serious extra mileage to my scenic-route jaunt.

The railroad bridge detracts from the panoramic view of Lake Wisconsin.
