šŸ’ Such fun seeing the cranberry harvest in full swing last weekend! šŸ‚

Those gorgeous red bogs are pretty amazing, but thereā€™s more going on than meets the eye!

ā¤ļø Wisconsin grows more than 60% of the nationā€™s cranberries. Wow!

šŸ’¦ Those bogs arenā€™t underwater all year. Cranberries grow on vines, and growers flood the beds at harvest so the berries float to the surface. Those fancy tractors help them "loosen up" without damaging the berry.

šŸŖ¶ Ever wonder where the name ā€œcrane berryā€ came from? The little cranberry blossom was thought to resemble the head and bill of a sandhill crane.

Pretty cool for a little red berry, right? ā¤ļøšŸŒ² Just another reason to love fall up north in Wisconsin!

We had the BEST time on the Fall North Woods Art Tours! šŸ‚šŸŽØ Summer-like weather, peak fall colors, incredibly talented artists, and gardens galore that kept catching my eye. ā¤ļø

We made a valiant effort to see as much as possible, but only managed 10 or 11 stopsā€¦ and every one seemed better than the last! So much creativity, beauty, and inspiration packed into one weekend.

Already looking forward to next year! šŸšŸŒ»

One of my favorite things about shopping in the Northwoods? Finding shirts that make me laugh out loud! šŸ˜‚šŸ‘• Rust & Stardust in Lake Tom never disappoints. This one didn't go home with me...but I may be back.

Beef-A-Rama was today in Minocqua. I used to go - but these days, the thought of that many people in one place makes me want a nap. šŸ˜‚

What a pleasant surprise to discover that Lake Tom Meat Market came up with an alternative to the "big gig" for introverts like me. šŸ˜‚ Today they were serving up their own roast beef sandwiches ā€”one day only - and OMG, they are amazing.

I asked for horseradish and the guy said, ā€œNope. You donā€™t need that. This is going to be the best sandwich youā€™ve ever had.ā€

Yep, he was right. šŸ˜‚

Thanks, Lake Tomahawk Meat Market! Marking my calendar for next year. šŸ„©ā¤ļø

Construction began in 1987, when Pete Kelley set out to build a castle on the shore of Killarney Lake. What started as a dream became a decades-long labor of loveā€”and you can feel that when youā€™re there. You cross a long bridge over the lake/moat to get to the castle, with beautiful Northwoods views all around.

Pete and his family were there to welcome visitors, share stories, and answer questions. It made the whole experience feel even more special.

Kelley Castle is open just one weekend each year...to coincide with Tomahawk's fall ride. If you missed it this year, put it on your calendar for next year. Itā€™s definitely worth the visit! ā¤ļø

POV: The best part about making apple crisp is actually peeling the apples. I could do this all day... šŸŽšŸ˜‚

Sure, itā€™s cold and cloudy at the cabin, but Iā€™m inside rocking out to Willie Nelson and making my favorite pumpkin black bean soup. šŸŽƒšŸŽ¶

Itā€™s a total dump soupā€”whatever sounds good goes in. Peanut butter? Sure. Tomato sauce? Yep. Chicken? Absolutely. šŸ˜‚ Always lots of garlic and lime.

Nothing puts me in the fall mood faster. šŸšŸ„£

What are you cooking up today? Share your favorite recipesā€”Iā€™m always looking for something new to try! ā¤ļø

I had such a fun afternoon at Wildwood Wildlife Park Zoo & Safari ā€” and I got to see their newest little resident while I was there! šŸ¦’ā¤ļø

It was just one of those days when everything seemed to be happening. Animals were active, kids were having a blast, and there was a great energy all around the park.

And then thereā€™s the baby giraffe. Oh the cuteness! šŸ„¹šŸ¦’

When was the last time you were at Wildwood Wildlife Park Zoo & Safari? What do I need to make sure I see next time? Drop a tip below! šŸ‘‡

šŸŖæ Northwoods friends, I need your goose wisdom!

I love most wildlife, but the geese this year are out of control. Iā€™m filling a bucket with their ā€œgiftsā€ every week and still canā€™t keep them off the beach and grassy area. šŸ¤¢

Iā€™ve tried dogs, fake owls, coyotes, tall grass, whirligigs and tinsel. Nothing has worked!

So, Northwoods friends, what ACTUALLY works to keep the geese away? šŸ‘‡šŸŖæ
