Super special double photo of the week!
These two red barns are located not far from each other in north-central Wisconsin dairy country. Years ago, these buildings housed cows, but neither barn is currently in use. It’s interesting how similar they look, from the similarly shaped roofs, to the high diamond windows to the (now faded) red paint job. I like the look of the barns, and I hope that someday they can again be used for something, even if it isn’t as a shelter for cows.

Well, the book count slowed down considerably during my last weeks of grad school, but I suppose that’s to be expected. However, I’ve gotten back in the game and completed my 8th nonfiction book for the 2009 book count. Here’s my Goodreads review:
The Glory of Their Times : The Story of Baseball Told By the Men Who Played It by Lawrence S. Ritter
rating: 4 of 5 stars

This last weekend, we went backpacking for the first time this summer. Our destination was the Thunder Creek trail in North Cascades National Park. We’d never been to this area before, so it was a new experience for us. For the official trail guide at the North Cascades National Park website, click here.

It’s been 3 months since I returned from Philly, and I’m finally posting pictures. I took quite a few pictures of City Hall. I walked past it every day I was there as I went from the hotel to the convention center, and I found it very interesting. It has an outer square building, with a courtyard in the middle along with the tower featuring William Penn at the top.
In the foreground, are various game pieces from Monopoly, Bingo, Checkers, Chess, and even a couple 10-foot dominoes–the dominoes aren’t actually in this picture. They are all part of a public art piece entitled “Your Turn” that sits out in the courtyard of the Municipal Services Building. My boss and I spent a good 10+ minutes wandering around in this particular area with our cameras on the last day we were there.

It was a fiction book, so it doesn’t count for the Book Count. But I liked it so much, I thought I’d link to my Goodreads review of The Summer Tree by Guy Gavriel Kay
