Okay, while our mailing address is Mosinee, we actually live in the "village" of Kronenwetter. Contrary to popular belief, the name does not mean "water kettle", but is the name of an early lumberman and state legislator, Sebastian Kronenwetter. It was just a township until 2002, when encroachment by surrounding municipalities motivated citizens to vote to incorporate the Village of Kronenwetter. This immediately raised taxes about a million dollars. Besides the fact that we live here, the other notable fact about Kronenwetter is that it is the largest village in Wisconsin, with a population of about 10,000. Actually, to me the term "village" is a misnomer because there is really no organized villageness--it's just a collection of neighborhoods with businesses scattered here and there.

For those of you who don't get to enjoy the progression of the seasons, I thought I'd let you see autumn in lovely Kronenwetter.
