Autumn Splendor

I don't have much time to write much for this post today because I have company coming to visit for the day - an old friend from high school that I haven't seen in years but reconnected with via Facebook recently.

I just wanted to share some photos of my fibers that were inspired by Fall colors. The bottom photo is what Autumn looks like here - we don't have very many of the deep reds and oranges, mostly yellow colors. But the photo above that was sent to me by a friend who lives in the midwest and I was whining about not getting all those colors so she sent the photo to me. I hope you enjoy looking at what inspires me.

Hope you all have a great day!

Do you know how to tell it's the last day of Summer in the Rockies?

Do you know how to tell when it is the last day of Summer in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado?

Any guesses?

Okay, I'll give you a hint - it is white.

Okay, another hint - it is cold.

Last hint - if it comes down hard enough it is called a Blizzard.

But since it is the last day of Summer, we're getting thunder with it.

Go figure.

Global warming...yeah....right.

Aspens Turning in Colorado Rockies

We took a little drive today from our ranch and headed south, then west, then north to Eleven Mile Reservoir. The aspens are beautiful. Depending on how cold it gets this next week and how much wind we get, this could be the last weekend to view the changing aspens and the Fall colors. I love this time of year! There's also a photo of a spectacular sunset taken from the front of our house last week.

Enjoy!
