52 Weeks

 2025 I declared to my husband that I wanted to do something fun/different once a month. Explore a new trail, state park, lake, river, town or city. We started out strong January, February, March and April. When May arrived so did some major changes for me and those changes continued to come at me month after month. With all the changes and major decisions needed, the plan for a once a month outing was tossed right out with the bath water.

October of 2025, Joyce of the Hodgepodge posted Day Datin' . After reading the post I thought, 2026 we are going to try to do this. One date, once a week, doing something fun together. It does not have to be something major, it can be simple.

I plan to document them here on the blog, just as Joyce is doing. She is my inspiration for  Day Datin'. And by the way, when I mentioned it to my husband, he was all in. He knew my disappointment that we did not get very far with our once a month outing last year, so why not make it even more challenging and do 52. (Just Kidding) 

 

We got Episode #1 in the bank, this adventure took place the evening of December 31st 2025.

 

We headed out to tour the Christmas Light Display at Prairie Farm Park, in Prairie Farm, Wisconsin.

 

 

 

The path along the Hay River.

 

 

Not only were the Christmas lights on display, the moon was just about full this evening as well.

 

 

We tap our maple trees to cook down sap to maple syrup. We loved this little sugar shack display. There had been a big storm two nights before, so the little Christmas tree on the shack has fallen over.

 

Here we are with the copper dog. He will probably be with for most of our adventures.

I have two more day dates on the calendar.

Stay tuned as we count down to 52ish dates.
