Global Mean Temperature
How do you feel about cold weather? Here in Wisconsin the weather can get very cold. While I would rather be inside when it does the cold has its advantages. There’s a meme that goes around with pictures of huge snakes, spiders, and alligators. The caption is “This is why I live where the air…

A Flock of Sparrows
I am sitting in my living room looking out the front window. There are two evergreen bushes outside with one on either edge of the window. In those bushes is a flock of sparrows. I like to watch them pick at the top of the bushes and fly up down and through the open space…

Road Trips
Think back on your most memorable road trip. When I was ten my parents moved the family from Michigan to Maryland. At Thirteen we moved to Wisconsin. For about the next ten years (on and off) our family would ride a round trip of those three places usually stopping to see relatives as well. My…

Wisconsin Animals
Do you ever see wild animals? I live in the middle of town in South Central Wisconsin. We have a lot of squirrels and rabbits. Our whole city has a diverse population of wild birds from sparrows and robins to hawks and bald eagles. On the edges of town we also have wild turkey and…

First Snow
It is snowing for the first time this season in south central Wisconsin. It’s not sticking to the sidewalks or the roads, but all our foliage is covered in white. Winter is coming I just wish it wasn’t coming so fast. But this area is home. It has been good for my kids. The air…

Gorgeous Day
It’s gorgeous weather today so I decided to walk to my appointment. I misjudged the time it would take so I arrived way too early. So you get to see me ramble in the waiting room. South Central Wisconsin is great this time of year, and I love the spring. It’s not as hot and…

Snow Day
This is what the first day of spring looks like in south central Wisconsin. When I was a kid I loved when the snow cancelled school. But it’s Saturday, and I’m an adult, and I have to work today. It’s beautiful out the window anyway. But it needed to be shoveled. Our oldest son helped…

Two in the Morning
I woke up about an hour and a half ago which in Wisconsin is two in the morning. I’ve had problems with insomnia most of my life. It is usually because I can’t seem to fall asleep the first time, but tonight I’ve already slept for a few hours and have been trying to relax…
