It was nice not having a Badger football game today. Regardless of whether it is in-town or out-of-town, the games create quite a bit of bustle. So, it was nice to see things a bit more slower and quiet for the day.

I went to the Farmer's market near our house at the Hilldale market today. I amazed at how some of the veggies continue with the cold weather we have had lately. I purchased onions, broccoli, cauliflower, leeks, carrots, garlic, cabbage, a red pepper (for Elliott), and eggs ($17.)

The trees are peaking in their colors around here. Our street is gilded gold by the sugar maples. Our hickory tree is now starting to turn its pale yellow.

Karen has set the bird and animal feeders out for the winter. It was approved by our usual crowd of squirrels, chipmunks, rabbits, and my fave - the female cardinals, no males out today for some reason.
