Weekend in Wisconsin

For a perfect fall-like weekend in Wisconsin, I recommend a visit to Hoffman Hills State Recreation Area where fall colors are just starting to show. This is from the Prairie Trail that leads to a wetland.


Here is a view of the wetland at Hoffman Hills.


At the cabin, three deer families stopped by to graze on clover and wildflowers that we have been seeding for the last two years. It was a treat to see them so close, just outside our windows and by the door.

We were encouraged also to see a honey bee at work on our wildflowers. There must be a honeycomb somewhere nearby.

Later we saw this young snake slither across the road.

The wetland at the south end of the property is filling in nicely with trees and brush, as the creek reclaims its banks and the beaver dam creates a pond in its center.
