If you ever come up this direction to either Horicon Marsh National Wildlife Refuge or to Lake Winnebago area be on the lookout for the American White Pelican. Amazing new addition to birds of Wisconsin. Thanks to a drought, which forced the several flocks to venture east from the Dakotas a few years ago. We have several hundred birds now in Wisconsin. Can't miss them! So make sure to bring a binoculars and camera, they've become a hit up in my neck of the woods.
Hello! Here is some Foxworthy Jive on WISCONSIN which I got a kick out of and hope you'll too! hehehe I'm going to post these on my other sites too great not to share!

Good morning! I noticed that you mentioned 'auctioneer' in your list for 'Occupation'. Maybe you could give us a post when a good auction is coming up in your area, or even closer to Kenosha way.
My husband made the mistake of taking me to an auction last fall and I loved it! lol
Good Morning Boondocks, looks like a good day to do a BBQ. So anyway I'm just stopping over this morning for a bit, I'm supposed to be working at the moment! hehehe
If I might ask have you seen Polital Pins in your neck of the woods? My father is a US History teacher and would use the items in his class.
That red in your weather map represents some wicked storms right over my place right now....
