Back after a few days away. We left when the aspen were peak, and came back to almost all bare trees. he speed of things around here is nuts. The mountain peaks have had snow and the Castle Mt photo shows a lot of snow on those mountains. We think that snow will be there until next summer. We drove back over Monarch Pass yesterday coming back from Denver running right into a full blown snowstorm with the temp 24degrees at the summit. Snowplows were out and 18 wheelers all off the road putting on chains. Absolutely crazy! Of course it was all gone by the time we made it over the pass and down in the valley.
Had a great time visiting back east. Nice wedding, fun running around (shopping in a dept store -whoo), nice family dinner out, and went with Tiffany & Chris to an apple & pumpkin picking farm. Those pumpkins are heavy! Fall is just starting there as opposed to a few weeks until winter here.
We saw elk on the way back to the house yesterday. A big bull & a few cows. Remember the elk male can have a harem up to 60 in the fall. This male must not be the hottest one in town.
Yay for pumpkin and apple picking! We had so much fun seeing you guys if only for a very short time.
ReplyDeleteI think Fall is really good anywhere! Fun to see it from two places isn't it? Even nice here in the Bay area (duh!)
