Yesterday, I drove up to Kohler-Andrae State Park, which is on Lake Michigan, about an hour north of Milwaukee. It was very pretty. I walked along a couple of nature trails, which meandered around sand dunes and meadows full of juniper, white pines, Queen Anne's Lace, and Joepie Weed. There were Monarch butterflies, seagulls, and everywhere the

Thank you! :)

Those sand dunes are little compared with the ones on the Michigan side of the lake. I climbed some last year, and they were quite steep! I love living near the water. I miss the ocean, but a really big lake will do for now.

"You must log in to see this page." One of the reasons I've never joined Facebook: no way to tell if I'd get anything out of it without actually signing up. I resent that. Still, I'm glad you had fun! Queen Anne's Lace is a plant? I only know it as a colour for cross-stitch fabrics. :-)

Oh, weird. I changed the setting on the album so you shouldn't need a Facebook account to see the photos. Huh.

Yes, Queen Anne's Lace is a flower.

And thanks!

Cedarburg is a lovely model of a village! Actually there is a shop there that had little carved or clay turtles (in the winery?) and I regret not buying one.

I can handle Cederburg in the fall, when the leaves are lovely. During the rest of the year, it's a little too "Look at us! We are a model American small town! Buy our stuff!" :P I do like their winery quite a lot, though. I'm not even a big wine drinker.
