Why do we go to Wisconsin in late fall? Some people just don’t understand After most are gone, we love the serene northland Especially falling leaves like mobiles by Chagall   Love to listen to winter Cadinal's  call Enjoy passing fields of harvested farmland Why do we go to Wisconsin in late fall? Some people just don’t understand   Beautiful orange sky nearing nightfall Wisconsin in late autumn our fairyland We walk the lakeshore hand in hand Whirling leaves in cold winds is best time of all Why do we go to Wisconsin in late fall?
