As we all prepare for ****** and that word starts with a W and ends with R and the middle is inte, lol, I am sure we are all saying it too early. Maybe this year will be a good year to have a snowmobile, compared to other years. I can not believe the way the leaves changes so fast and now you see a lot of bare trees. I can smell and feel the moisture in the air, but because we have our furnace on (wood stove) it is dry in the house. I love the smell of the wood stove outside and sometimes we put cherry woodchips in that we buy from FleetFarm. That aroma is sweet, soothing and pleasant to smell than Boxcelder trees. I hope we don't have too many disasters this winter and it goes calm and pleasant.
I am getting excited that we only have 8 weeks of school left this semester and that most of my mid-term grades were satisfying. I am just getting this schedule down and before you know it, I will have to adapt to another schedule.
I have a funny joke I want to share with you. This man took his girlfriend to her first football game. The game was exciting and lots of cheering going on. After the game the man asked how she liked the game? She replied, "I don't know why all these people are all fighting over getting their quarter back!" LOL
Another comment for food for thought, Homemade Apple Pie, Baked Roast, and Mashed Potato season is here, yeah!
All is well here and looking forward to being a Grandma in Feb. My daughter picked a name for the baby boy, Chamberlain Aaron Meyer. It is a peaceful, but strong name. Hope you all stay healthy and your families, see you in class or around campus.

Another exciting week since I have posted anything and so much to tell you. I had school and work this last week and the weather has been messing me up. I never know how to dress anymore because in the morning it may be cold and cloudy out, but by the middle of the day it has warmed up or vise verse. I don't know if any of you are dealing with these crazy Asian Beetles but our house outside the other day was covered with them. I hate it when they get in the house because they smell and are annoying when they crawl over everything and same with the Boxcelder Bugs.
Today was a wonderful day, because we had no school and I could sleep in and I didn't have to work. I had a little birthday party, for my husband, and I invited his immediate family to come to our house for supper. I grilled steaks, hamburgers, brats, hot dogs and baked some chicken, and I made mashed potatoes, squash and sweet corn that we had froze. I made a Duncan Halloween cake and that was fun and real good. I had 15 guests and it was real nice and fun. My husband turned 51 years old today, but he doesn't look it or act like it. I think he is Great and I love him a lot. We will have our 5 year anniversary in November but have been together for 11 years since last May. He is a farmer and works for First Supply Group in LaCrosse. He had a good day and loved supper and visiting.
I have been noticing a lot of hunters out there lately and I wish them luck. The deer are crazy right now. I met one on the highway and it didn't know which way it was going to run, it came close to hitting my truck, when I was stopped. I even had my lights on dim so it could see where it wanted to go. There is a lot of deer out there and it is terrible when you see them slaughtered on the road. I have been smelling a lot of skunks in the night when I am driving home from Onalaska and it seems to linger for miles.
I hope all is well you all and God bless you and drive safely. Until next week this will be all.

Well I don't know about you, but I couldn't believe that it snowed the other day! It has been a little bit too cold already for me. I do love the smells of fresh baking and cooking that linger in the air, now that the air is so much heavier than in the summer time. I work in a Lab as a Support Staff Tech and boy, lots of people are real sick with fevers, coughing, and rashes. Lots are dehydrated and exhausted. I think this is a start to a terrible winter for viruses and bacterial germs. I hope everyone knows that the most helpful way to reduce infectious pathogens is by washing your hands vigorously. Well I hope you all stay healthy.
I have more news that my children are moving back home one by one. By December we will have 6 of living there instead of 3. I love to have them close by so I know they are safe and eating well. I will sleep sooo much better, but there comes a time when a Mother has to learn to let go and let there children spread there wings and be grown up themselves. Maybe when they are 25 years old, lol.
As far as freezing and canning, tonight I will be done with canning tomatoes and this week I will be done freezing squash. Yippee!
Until next week this is all for now. Have a safe week and enjoy each day that is given to you.

Wow, another week and a half has went bye. I am loving the changes in this weather, well except the cold. I love to smell the foods in the city linger in the air, like grilled steaks or burgers, and I love the smell the scents in the rural areas such as home cooking and baking and wood stoves burning. I love the picture perfect view every day on my way to LaCrosse from my place in Sheldon. I see the leaves are changing so fast to red, yellow, orange or brown. I see people getting ready to harvest the beans in the fields and the gardens are pretty well done and cleaned up and the lawn mowing has slowed down now. The chimneys release smoke and the ground is now covered with frost in the mornings. The time has come that we need to scrape our windshields, unless you are a lucky one to have a garage and to put on our little mittens to keep our hands warm.
This weekend was the first big 2 day gun season for deer hunting so we see a lot of vehicles on the sides of the roads parked and vehicles parked in fields and in field roads. I have also seen a lot of bow hunters out this year. The ones that hunt on our land always hunt for the meat. We do not allow trophy hunters on our land. We have seen two deer killed on our land and one was a real nice big doe. We also tell the hunters that if the doe's have young babies with them that are not to shoot them. The hunters we have are very kind and respectful.
College is going ok, my family is well and I got to see my unborn grandson last week in an ultrasound, and work is great. Almost like that song God is great, Beer is good, and people are crazy, lol.
