It's fall in Wisconsin

Last Saturday found us at the farmer's market again, but not our regular one. We spent a long weekend in Wisconsin visiting Mr. Snootypurse's family. Mr. Snootypurse's sister has been a small-scale organic farmer in Wisconsin long before it was "cool". The Madison farmer's market is larger than our local one and we noticed a plethora of cheese and bakery booths in addition to the veggies. Unfortunately local zoning regulations restrict the use of propane so Mr. Purse had to go without his Saturday morning sausage.

We weren't the official trip photographer so we are missing pictures for a couple of days. On our drive to Chicago, we stopped at Lake Geneva. It's a cute resort community on a lake with some nice fall color in the background. The temperatures were much warmer than the preceding days and we savored the sunshine. I was happy to find a Caribou coffee shop so I could endulge my latest addiction: a mocha with half dark/half milk chocolate. When will they open in Portland?
