Well
harvesting in Door County is nearly finished. The apples have finally been
gathered and most of the corn is not only harvested but the fields have been disked
too. Birding is in full swing either by camera or by shotgun. I walked through
the great discgolf course at Sugar Creek Park and the rolling forest was beautiful.
The holiday season is here and I’ve noticed an
almost schizophrenic quality to the holiday decorations, left over cobwebs, pumpkins
and straw stacks with sprinkles of red sleds and jingle bells. Arts and Craft
shows displaying the same mix of holiday stuff. Here at Tornado Tavern Gallery
we are dusting off the Christmas Coal and wire wrapping the smaller pieces. The
larger chunks are for those who have been naughty and the wire wrapped ones are
for those who you wish were naughty. The “lost marble” section has lots of
unclaimed marbles that may end up with new owners.
Remember
our store hours have been reduced to most Friday through Sunday; it’s always a
good idea to call ahead. When possible we try to open for those who will be in
the area during our closed hours. There might even be some coffee available,
quality is not guaranteed but it’s free.
