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.

After breakfast, we took a long walk on the shore. A pleasant offshore breeze kept the mosquitoes down.



Wells is a very nice Michigan state park and uncrowded on a Monday morning. One can venture into the woods.


Or play a game of horseshoes.


We would stay here again (on a weekday).

Mosquitoes here too! It's an exceptionally wet Spring. Snow melt has the Humboldt River threatening to flood.

It felt like regulation distance. The angle of the camera and shadow make it seem longer. All of the Michigan state parks on this trip have horseshoes. During my first summer as a lawyer, I played in a clay pit horseshoe bar league with my brother-in-law Scott. We werenā€™t especially good, but we had fun.
