Spring Time in Wisconsin, A Metamorphosis.

39 comments




Traveling along the roads and byways of Western Wisconsin.  We live in the unglaciated part of Wisconsin.  Picture rolling hills, Holstein cows, (lot's of them)  bluffs and the Mississippi River.  Dan and I took a little drive yesterday. It was so nice not to be in a hospital bed or stuck at home.    Spring is springing here and it's my favorite time of year!

 We drove along the bluffs, near the Mississippi River.

Had a bite to eat at a charming little restaurant that overlooks the river. 



Things are greening up so nicely. We haven't peeked yet, but the process of getting there is the most amazing part.



This part of Wisconsin is heavily Scandinavian.  My hubby is 100% Norwegian ethnicity.  The Norwegians thought Western Wisconsin reminded them of Norway with its rolling hills and hence many of them settled here.


Along the Mississippi as the sun begins to set.

A beautiful spring day!
Thanks for coming along.
Hope you all are enjoying beautiful spring weather.
I 'm adding this post to Met. Monday, be sure to visit Susan @ Between Naps on the Porch.

I am joining my friend Laurie, for Favorite things Saturday!  And my new favorite thing, is this beautiful tea-cup and saucer filled with flowers!   It came from the sweet Gloria @  Happy to Be.   Now aren't bloggers just the nicest, bestest friends!

I couldn't' figure out, why the flower delivery guy was in my drive.  Hubby had already gotten me some lovely get well gifts!  But my dear friend Gloria, thought of me!  Isn't she just the sweetest? Thank-you Gloria, you made my day girl!   If you don't know Gloria, go by and say hi!   You'll be glad you did.  And thanks to our hostess, Laurie for this fun new blog party!
