I’m fairly certain I’ve been by this one a time or two; just down the road a bit in Wittenberg, Wisconsin, 8 February, 2026. Photo by Heidi Fleurant.

Out on deck this evening, all three of my Howard Miller clocks, including my grandfather clock, having chimed 8 o’clock “Chicago time” (as my grandma and grandpa J used to refer to it after they moved to Harbert, Michigan, from Chicago in 1968). It’s a nice evening here in this little corner of northern Wisconsin.

“It took me 35 days of searching to finally find this one. I didn't give her a name, I gave her a number. She was #1 of 5.

#1 had already been in her home roost for weeks by the time I found her. 15+ pellets were below her tree, and a giant puddle of white wash too. She decided to stay there another 116 days in a row after.” - MN Owl Tours

An early Sunday evening road jam: the first sunset of autumn, 2024, as seen on U.S. Highway 45 north of Antigo, Wisconsin, is shaping up nicely.

A change of pace out here on deck. There’s a couple owls in yonder tree line that don’t seem to mind. I know I don’t.

2 April in northern Wisconsin: the eight inches of snow we got last week was just about gone.

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight
We're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is a new bird
To sing a love song
While we stroll along
Walking in a winter wonderland
