While I was in Washington DC for the Computers in Libraries conference, I took a couple vacation days to see some of the sights.
Unfortunately, the cherry blossoms peaked about a week before I was there.
A pretty big winter storm has been hitting the upper great lakes region this weekend.
As Henry David Thoreau wrote, “The Great Snow! How cheerful it is to hear of!”

After I was whining about a lack of winter weather earlier this month, it has been very wintry here over the past week or so. We’ve had a couple of snowstorms and typically cold temperatures.
This was the scene outside my door this morning.
It was a great day for a hike yesterday, so I did a little exploring and headed to New Glarus Woods State Park.
Taken at the Arboretum yesterday.
Despite the threat of rain, I decided to do some exploring today and visit a park I’ve never been to before, Yellowstone Lake State Park.
Yesterday I returned home from a camping trip to northern Wisconsin. My goal for this trip was to explore some of the bike trails in Vilas County that run through the Northern Highland – American Legion State Forest.
