Karma doesn't mind thunder unless it is super loud and feels like it is right overhead, but she hates the tornado sirens and the fire alarm in the building. End of tourist season...the museum closing can't be far behind. ;)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-31148854765927205392013-09-02T10:11:25.723-05:002013-09-02T10:11:25.723-05:00You are so right, Connie.

I feel a little like that when the big yellow school buses come through and take away all the kids, and peace and quiet return.<br />Used to have a cabin near Manitowish Waters. Went back for a look-see a couple years ago and barely recognized the lake. More like a subdivision. <br />Enjoy the fall!Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16035113274497372396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-41786501103782590142013-09-01T20:55:13.902-05:002013-09-01T20:55:13.902-05:00Forgot to mention that the corn looks a lot better...Forgot to mention that the corn looks a lot better down there.

But no rain here.<br /><br />I always get melancholy over another lost summer. Around here, kids are back in school now for over two weeks by the time September hits. Sometimes summer doesn't even feel like summer anymore :(<br /><br />Glad some rain is coming your way. After seeing yesterday's pics, it was pretty obvious the farms around you could use some more water.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-66392325035363461802013-09-01T19:10:23.998-05:002013-09-01T19:10:23.998-05:00Glad to hear you got some rain!:-)Glad to hear you got some rain!:-)LindaGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12203719919661519350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-74741236039552963362013-09-01T17:25:53.923-05:002013-09-01T17:25:53.923-05:00Same here .

As far as tourists leaving, its an exciting day in northern Wis too!! In fact the residents of the Minoqua area gather at a parking lot along hwy 51. They have a cookout, drink some state beverage, and line their lawn chairs along the highway. They bid a fond farewell to the tourist, while anticipating having the northwoods peace and quiet back!!!Muffy's Markshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13826630430126318583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-3636334062375010262013-09-01T09:40:26.507-05:002013-09-01T09:40:26.507-05:00I am glad you got some much needed rain.
