Leafing town
I'm kind of relieved that I got my dates wrong and I don't actually have a party to go to tonight. Yes, it makes for a longer day tomorrow, but it gives me an evening to rest up for it and a whole day to recover. Well, part of a day--I really need to get out in the garden on Sunday and now that will be my only opportunity to see Blondie this visit. Also, it's predicted to rain tonight and I'd just as soon be home for that.
Tomorrow Fig is taking me and the Old Man to do Fall Things. I suggested this a couple weeks back when he came by to drop off the last of the transplants and it looks like we've settled on exploring the I-94/US41 corridor. It's not new to me--I've been up here a half-dozen times at this point, either on my way to Door County with Dad or to Milwaukee with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bunj. He and e. even took me to the Apple Holler once or twice before they discovered an orchard they like far better way the hell out beyond O'Hare.
The colours won't be great this year--it's been dry lately and the frost is slow in coming (not that I'm complaining about that)--but they should be good enough. Fig is hoping we'll be able to get some dinner at a steakhouse just across the border which claims to be Wisconsin's oldest restaurant, in operation since 1848. And, from the looks of their menu, they haven't made many changes since then. But it's the least we can allow him given that he's willing to rent the car and drive it.
