Not really SAD, but

A lot of people are affected with Seasonal Affective Disorder in Wisconsin.  We have many, many days without sun during the winter months.  This year, we've had a string of days with heavy fog and unseasonably warm temperatures in the 30's and 40's.   Personally, I can't claim that I've ever really felt the effects of SAD, but this year, knowing that we are likely moving west later next year, I've been very impatient and annoyed with Wisconsin weather.   Sun trying to fight through the clouds It hasn't helped that my daily routine involves looking at the weather in Fort Collins and Tucson.  Their weather has been spectacularly sunny and more pleasant this time of year.   So, I haven't been blogging much because not much is going on. I've substituted indoor pickleball for hiking. The trails have been muddy and not much fun. For Christmas, we had my mother, Julia's brother and Allie here.  I went and retrieved my mother from Cedar Rapids a...

North Wood County Park

On a rainy Wednesday morning, we drove an hour or so west to our next campground:  North Wood County Park, about fifteen minutes south of Marshfield, Wisconsin.  We had reservations for a nice waterfront campsite in a mostly empty campground mid-week.


I had my happy face on while setting up camp in the drizzle while Julia waited patiently in the truck.

On Wednesday and Thursday, we spent most of the day reading inside the Scamp.  We did venture out on Wednesday afternoon to the Blue Heron Brew Pub in Marshfield for lupper and a couple of beers.  


They ran out of the in-house stout but offered Shutdown Stout, a guest brew from nearby Mosinee Brewing Company.  Julia had Friar Frisch, a Belgium Dubbel.  

The beer was excellent, and the food was well above-average also.  The forecast was for more rain.  I took a growler of stout to-go.

North Wood County Park did have a pair of blue herons fishing on the water during our stay, but they refused to pose for a good picture.

Yeah, I can really see that happy face there!

And is it just possible that y'all ran them out of the in-house stout with the rainy-day blues?

Honest, we each only had one beer. I will confess to taking a to-go growler (64 ounce glass jug) of the substitute stout back to the Scamp, but over half of it is still in the home fridge several days later. I'm a lightweight when it comes to quantity.

The happy face was as big a smile as Julia was going to coax out of me at that particular time.
