I promise to get back to writing about food and food politics soon, but I wanted to take a brief break to share some pictures of Wisconsin.  The dry, golden chill of late autumn has its own beauty.  Even though everything is bare, when the Unicyclist and I went for a long walk yesterday, we saw that the naked limbs and fallen leaves make it easier to see all the fruit these plants have borne.

Today, we plan to go with mom to check out the farmer’s market and co-op in nearby Big City so that we can get some goods for our first local meal in the Dark Days Challenge.  More on that later!  Have a great weekend, everyone.
