Today is Poetry Friday! Our host is Bridget from Wee Words for Wee Ones! She has been celebrating the first anniversary of her poetry book, 10.10 Poetry Anthology: Celebrating 10 in 10 Different Ways! Bridget’s posts are always engaging and I love her energy! Be sure to stop by her page for more poetry and a dose of cheerfulness. Bridget and I share October as our birthday month and that we’ve both Wisconsinites (at some point in our lives)! She is one of my favorite writers!

Here in the upper midwest, autumn is in full swing! We’ve even had our first snowfall! Last Friday we got a few inches! It made everything very beautiful! Having guests at our cabin (home) for the weekend, we took them to Timm’s Hill and had to don hats and gloves for the hike through the woods to the lookout tower. It was chilly and slightly slippery but worth it! Our leaves are past peak here, but it is still very beautiful and I love that you can see the birch bark coming through the forest.
