Fall in the Yampa Valley

Good Morning Friends, I am getting to the end of the photos of Autumn Splendor, I hope you've enjoyed them as much as I've enjoyed sharing them. Some may look familiar, because I took the same views with my phone.

I've already been out walking and now have to run some errands. This afternoon, I will be taking granddaughter to the big box fabric store~we are going to make headbands and they need to pick out fabric.  I'm hoping that this project will be sew(lol)easy that they will make some for Christmas presents, for their family.  Yesterday afternoon we had quite the storm roll through, so sewing was postponed.  I actually got to spend several hours hand quilting while in front of the t.v.  It felt good to finish two squares, I have four left and then will attach the binding. I'm anxious to be done, although I love this quilt, I'm ready to start a new quilt.  I never thought I'd still be working on it, but when trips and family fill my days, it is hard to find time to stitch.
I hope yo have a wonderful day!  Enjoy your weather, our will be another storm this afternoon.
Blessings and Joy,
Noreen & Hunter

More Autumn Colors

Happy October and happy outdoor Wednesday! As promised, here are some photos of the incredible color we saw last week on our road trip. From other friends I've talked to, this year's display of color was the best it's been in years. I've already told you that for hubby and I, this year had the most color displayed that we seen in almost seven years of living here. These photos were taken at Twin Lakes. Enjoy! 

We actually saw red too, among the Aspen and some of the bushes.  Now if we could see some vibrant purple mixed in, it would be as beautiful as some of the New England states.  Of course, they don't have the gold Aspens that we have. We had rain yesterday afternoon and evening, so I imagine the leaves will begin to drop.  Up around Vail, they even had a bit of snow.  I tell you I'm enjoying fall to much to even think about the white stuff.
I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday and get out and enjoy nature.
Blessings,
Noreen

A Teaser

This week hubby and I went on a little road trip; not little exactly, because we put over 600 miles on my car. Our initial purpose was to dig into our bit of hubby's family history; his great-great-grandparents, great-grandparents and grandmother all have roots here. Although we didn't get additional history of his family, we certainly got to see Autumn in all her splendor. Here is just a peak of photos I'll share next week.

We left early on Wednesday morning and we're settling into a wonderful hotel in Glenwood Springs by mid afternoon.  Thursday took us to Meeker and then onto Steamboat Springs, on of our favorite Colorado towns.  The weather was perfect; we so enjoyed seeing sights we'd never been to before and of the beauty of the changing colors. 
I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Joy to you.
Noreen and a very tired Hunter, asleep beside me.
