Dentist and doughnuts

What better way is there to celebrate a perfect dentist visit than with a doughnut?  After a good report with Dr. Tim yesterday,we stopped at the newly opened Krispy Kreme, had a treat for ourselves and made a quick delivery to a friend on the way back to school.  What a great start to the day!

Saddle and Sirloin Club

Twice each week I cross campus to teach my Intro to Kinesiology course in the Animal Science building (because we don't have a big enough classroom in the Natatorium).  As I wait for the class before ours to end, I see this.  It has always cracked me up...I mean, come on...the combination of saddles and sirloins do not seem like a good one to me.  But obviously, this combination has a historic and meaningful history at UW.  So let's all celebrate!

Water, water...

I love driving home over the Sugar River watershed.  There are always lots of birds and it's fascinating to watch the water levels ebb and flow with the weather.  Today was definitely a flow day!

Devil's lake...frozen

 

The lake is still frozen, but just barely.  It still offers a wonderful view!

Back to the Lake!

It's warm enough for most of the snow to melt off my favorite hiking spot, so I headed up there today...here are a few shots...

Blue sky and 50!

No green grass yet, but warm and wonderful!

A Day Trip to Milwaukee!

Kristin was feeling a little claustrophobic in Verona, so Frank guarded the homestead while we went off to Milwaukee for the afternoon.  Here are a few of the sites we enjoyed...

The Ecology Center...really cool!

We had a great lunch at this charming neighborhood tavern

Our new neighbor

This morning on the way to school, we met a new neighbor.  His name is Jed and he was standing in the middle of the highway.  Well, we can't just leave a dog in that kind of predicament, even if it means we might be late for school, so into the car he went.

Turns out, Jed is just a neighbor we hadn't met yet.  He lives down the road at the farm that boards horses, and we are glad to know him (and his owners!)

Signs of Spring

Okay, for real, we live in the coolest place!

On our way to school

I love where we live!  This is what we saw on the way to school today!!

She's back!

We missed our little one, but she had a great time and stayed safe...my two goals...
