RAINY DAY TRIP TO MADISON.

 Yesterday the temps were cool enough that we traveled through rain, sleet and snow on our way to check out yet another VW bus.



On the upside.  With the Badgers playing out of town, down in Evanston and the foul weather the farmers market was easy to get around.



Our mission was to pick up some zebra grasses for our friend Jamie and pick up some other produce and cheese.

 Then it was off to Mickies Dairy Bar across from Camp Randal for a bite to eat.

Awesome food at a reasonable price.  So, a guy won't mind waiting in line for a while just to get in the door

 Mickeys was the start of cultural food heritage tour which will continue through the month of October.

We laid a base of  Micky burgers, sweet potato fries, chilli omelet and yanks all washed down with a great cup of hot black coffee.

 My Badger girl was very happy!

 Camp Randal home of the Badgers!

 After the Bus deal turned out to be a bust.  We walked around the Arboretum for a while.





There were all kinds of great conifers, if we only had more room in our yard.

 The turkeys had their morning breakfast interrupted by this big bird.

 They weren't too frightened,  they just did a short sprint and continued eating acorns.








Susie and I both loved the Hydrangeas and fall blooming Crocus.



We're heading back up North to land of Green and Gold next weekend.  Did I mention that the Packers pounded the Vikings  :0
