I bought myself a New Year’s present at the antique mall yesterday. It’s from the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul, and Pacific Railway (The Milwaukee Road).
Winter, finally
How about that? The past few days have actually felt like winter. Now we just need a few more inches of the white stuff for good snow shoeing.
Christmas, a long time ago
A couple of photos from Dad’s archives. This one is Christine, Barbra, and Steven Bloy, on Christmas, circa 1959 (before I was around).
Head toward the light
Today’s winter solstice advice comes from a hallway in the Capitol.
Christmas in the rotunda
I went down to the Capitol yesterday, looking for a little Christmas spirit.
Yahara hieroglyphs
These reeds being reflected on a calm Yahara River look like some kind of ancient writing to me. I wonder what the message is?
Winter coat
This cattail is well insulated, and seems to be ready for cold weather. With the above normal temperatures lately, I wonder if we’ll get any.
Vilas bridge
I caught this scene in Vilas Park. Proof that the sun actually did shine for a few brief moments today.
First snow
Madison got the first measurable snow of the season last night (about 5 inches in my neighborhood). Welcome to winter.
