GOOD MORNING "CREEKERS"!
Well, fall fell earlier this week, although you wouldn't know it by the temps in the 70's, and so are the leaves and especially the acorns. I have two oaks along side the driveway and I can't recall them ever shedding as many acorns as this year. I thought the squirrels weren't doing their jobs, but they are running around with bulging cheeks and burying nuts in the yard, which of course they'll never find over the winter.
Most of the tourists are gone now. Just a few smart ones that have gotten lucky with the weather and are visiting our area for the change of seasons. We finally got some rain this week. Almost a half inch, which helped a wee bit. 50 miles to our south Madison got three and a half inches. What a difference a few miles can make.
Have a visitor stopping in to spend the night tonight on his way to Mackinac City and Island. It's supposed to be raining for the weekend, so after he leaves Saturday morning, maybe I can get some stuff done in the shop again. I'll be watching some golf [go Steve Stricker] and the Dover race [go Mark Martin] as well as the Packers playing in St. Louis.
What's up in your part of the world for the weekend? Fun, games, work or?????? Whatever you're up to, enjoy the time and please be SAFE.
