We drove out to the Blanchardville area for our monthly book group gathering Sunday. This month's book was the latest by Naomi Klein, "No Is Not Enough," about resisting Trump. The gorgeous greens and golds of southwestern Wisconsin on a gray morning were the perfect antidote to politics. Nothing like a view from the top of a windy hill to blow the cobwebs, if not the clouds, away.
Nice expansive views. It's clear that you've had rain this summer as everything is so verdant.

Great scenes. It's interesting that Peter said it looks verdant. I think so, too, but the touches of dry are obvious to me, too, because of our recent lack of rain. Record-breaking heat this week?

I agree. Sure is very dry and browning in my garden. I was surprised the country looked that good.

Your country side looks good. I love the rolling hills. I can almost smell the dust and hear the corn ripening. The farmers are picking corn here.
We finally got a bit of much needed rain. Almost an inch. The garden has responded but under the trees the ground is already dry. Slurping up that rain. We also had a small earthquake yesterday. A busy morning weather-wise.

Yikes, an earthquake! We've had a couple of little ones over the years and they are creepy. At least with tornadoes you usually can tell when the weather is breeding them.
