Post-Peak Color Weekend
October 10th through 12th   
The sun set just after 6:00 PM on Friday.  After a rather upsetting week in the markets, the calm of the northwoods was more welcome than ever.  Later on Friday, we went over to Rhinelander to check out The Knight Gallery and Bugsy's.  They're still there.  Hodag lanes has all the bowling you can eat for $10 from 9:30 PM to midnight.  Our fill of bowling took only about two and a half hours. Many leaves have fallen, but there are many still attached and they are marvelous.  Not much red left.  There is plenty of yellow, gold, and brown.
Acorns are all over the ground in various states of squirrel food-ness (whole, half eaten, all eaten).  I've always wondered how they taste.  I understand they are very bitter and need to be boiled to be made edible, but I've never been hungery/curious enough to bite one.
Forest floor ferns have seen better days.

The lake temperature is close to 60 F.  The water level has not come up much even with all the rain last week. sigh.  Most of the lifts and piers are in.  A few fishermen and a loon tooled about the surface looking for fish.  We saw a few smaller fish in the shallows, but no bigger ones.
