"Well, it's a marvelous night for a moondance with the stars up above in your eyes; A fantabulous night to make romance ‘neath the cover of October skies. And all the leaves on the trees are falling to the sound of the breezes that blow…" - Van Morrison

"I got a rock!" - Charlie Brown, It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
Saturday was a great day -- a great day for a road trip; a great day for sunshine, blue skies, and fall colors; a great day for a hike in the park with Piper. And, just in case I needed confirmation, I got a rock! Thanks to friends in both Lake Country and Door County, I now know about these lovely surprises that I have been finding all fall. I found this #MichelleMagpie rock in Potawatomi State Park on Saturday. Michelle's Instagram account explains: "It's not about racing to find the best rocks before anyone else can get there, or about how many rocks you can collect. It's not a game or a contest. It's about random acts of kindness -- sharing a little piece of art with a stranger or exchanging with a friend. It's about people getting together to paint and laugh. It's about making someone's day brighter or sending a little message of encouragement to someone who needs it. It's about positive energy that we send out in the smallest things without expecting anything in return." I took this rock back to Delafield with me and will leave it where someone else can have a great day too! #kindnessrocks
Rocks I've found in Delafield along the Ice Age Trial. To learn more about these painted rocks, visit #WIRocks, Lake Country Rocks, and Door County Rocks.

"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes." - Marcel Proust. Daddy and I have explored Potawatomi State Park in Sturgeon Bay hundreds of times, but today was Piper's turn!
Piper says, "When you're a good girl, you get ice cream! I like road trips!"

« Regard, objet, symbole, la Tour Eiffel est tout ce qu'on met en elle et ce but est infini. » - Roland Barthes
I'm not a big fan of Halloween lights -- Christmas lights, yes, but not Halloween; however, I can't resist this orangish glow of the Eiffel Tower against the night sky.
