Labor Day weekend began with a scenic drive along Lake Pepin, and a plein air reading stop enroute to The Stone Barn for pizza. My cast/boot limited my Labor Day activities by 99%. Sigh. But food I could do.
Pizza Farm!
I’m supporting other Indie authors like me!
Now, instead of staying on campus at my alma mater UW-Stout, I’m watching the campus from my hotel window in Menomonie, Wisconsin.
Mosaic Monday. We picked blueberries and grapes at Cain’s Orchard, had a picnic lunch in Hixton, Wisconsin, and later, enjoyed Sammy’s Pizza in Carson Park in Eau Claire.
Do you remember the song Rock Lobster by the B-52’s?
Our Wisconsin tour ended with cemetery flowers and a visit to my parent’s grave in Caryville. As we lingered, listening to morning birds amid the peaceful, rural setting, I read aloud my short story about the recent passing of my cat Akua through Heaven’s Gate. Tears ensued.
I posted the story in my author newsletter, but you can read it here.
Have a meaningful Labor Day!
Pretty flowers and a cute kitty. Happy Labor Day!
Happy September, Enjoy your day and the week ahead.
Me ha encantado ese lindo gato y las imágenes tan atractivas que has captado.
Que tengas un buen día.
Beautiful post. Labor Day was most wonderful here. Quiet and peaceful.
Love that Pizza. Wow.
Thank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday. ♥
Sorry about your mobility issues. At least you had a meaningful Labor Day.
Oh, I can well understand you. There are memories on campus and, on the other hand, the limitations of a sick foot. Yes, my knee and spine are no longer fully mobile either. It’s all about making the best of the situation.
Thank you for sharing at MosaicMonday
Even with your cast, you made the weekend meaningful. Wishing you continued healing and inspiration!
You made the most of your time despite your injury. The pizza looks excellent!
Your photos are beautiful, Sharon! And cats are so therapeutic! Wishing you good health and happiness.
I love the quote. Imagine a summer without any yacking politicians, and what a wonderful break that would be!! Cool wood carving of the crawfish.
Sorry about your leg. I hope it heals quickly though I know these things can take time there are always exceptions. Your scenery is very pretty and a great setting for reading. I love the photo of the big tree stump on the beach.
Beautiful sky shots.
Who is your furry friend?
Worth a Thousand Words
Despite the boot, sounds like you had a decent Labor Day weekend. I hope you get mobile soon.
You were in Wisconsin!
