Last leaves falling off, snow coming, and off to see Penny

I am leaving - again. :Yes, back to Penny, big surprise, and Mark is leaving too, back to Detroit.(coming to see Penny on the weekend - hurray). Crazy, crazy life we've been leading. It's okay, except now the winter kicks in. Yes, I know, for most of you winter is a distant thought - not so here. Denver is supposed to be hit in a fairly big way late Tues/Wed. Of course I was scheduled to fly Wed morning to Virginia, happily Mark was already going out Monday - not an issue, but it's his BIRTHDAY as well. Some years the celebration does not connect...
Soo, changed my reservation and now out Tuesday, before the storm. Wow, we have much travel scheduled in the next few months - oh, dear - cause for thought and patience....

Day in the life - going to town passed the one room school house setting up for a wedding. went to the pre-season ski sale at local store, bought a couple things, including little boots for Penny - absolutely needed (did they see Nana coming - possibly). Stopped by the rather antiquated recycle center in town  and then by the fairgrounds. To see the after rodeo work out - what workout you ask? The practice round up the cow workout. Very normal here...

Hunters  everywhere. We went to dinner at Soupcon for the last time until their reopening in December. On the short way over on Ohio Pass, saw a hunter right by the road. gun in hand, fluorescent orange vest and  no deer/elk in sight. Wow, watch out everybody.

Went on probably a last fishing trip/painting/picnic trip to upper Taylor and upper Spring Creek. Sooo quiet except for hunters (previously mentioned) and Mark fished but not much luck. Gorgeous day, and we enjoyed the ambiance anyway, and a little plein air painting as well.

Fly report - they are much diminished in number- much happiness here, although, the week we're gone should be a good test on the remainder. Oh, please let us have a fairly pest/rodent free winter....
