Barn on 18th
This past week was gorgeous here. I think as of today, we're heading down the other side of brilliant color, but we knew it couldn't last forever. It was such a blessing to have it as long as we did, without any storms to take the leaves before they had a chance to reach peak color.
Thought I'd end the week with some shots of our neighborhood, taken the week of October 7.
4th Street
The road may look straight from here, but trust the sign!
We always called them 'roads' when I was a kid, and 'street' was used for town or city. Now everything's a street unless it's a highway or freeway. I'm not complaining, for the most important thing to me is that Barron County has all its streets (aka roads) numbered in logical order, so that you can determine from an address (which number is the same as the fire number, btw) how far the location is north of the south county line border and how far east of the west county line border. Streets run south to north. Avenues run west to east. All streets and avenues are numbered from the SW corner of the county.
Okay, I realize that the above paragraph is probably totally confusing and no one but me finds that information thrilling.
But this is why I do not need a map, nor do I need a GPS, as long as I stay within Barron County. Cross the county line into Dunn County and all bets are off. Their mapping system (no, I actually don't think there is a system to it at all) is totally crazy. (IMHO, of course).

Why does this remind me of a line of ballerinas?
