Autumn

Mister Jeff and I went to Lapham Peak today, and enjoyed the beautiful fall colors. We climbed up the lookout, to the highest point in all of Waukesha County! The Peak is named for "useful" Waukesha County citizen Increase Lapham. I obviously adore the name Increase. It is pure Puritanical perfection. Increase. May God increase your family and your piety and your home and your good works.

Then I had the distinct pleasure of hiking the trails with Waukesha's answer to Jacques Cousteau. As he was modest enough to call himself. Cousteau was in fine form, studying the habits of the local flora and fauna. He searched and searched, but could only capture the image of one solitary chipmunk. The others all got away. Cousteau did also manage to scare a strange mole thing to within an inch of it's life, but the bugger eluded us before we could take a picture. Cousteau also searched high and low for the exotic garter snake, but to no avail.
Yes, the animals eluded Cousteau this day, proving wily. Surprising. Because you have to get up pre-tty early in the morning to get the jump on this guy.
