Twas a spectacular day yesterday.
Mother put on a fine show with that early snow dump.
Her timing was perfect for looking at the landscape and seeing stunning and brilliant contrasts.
How often do we get to see fall colors reaching toward their height, only to be enhanced by scenes with pure white snow as backdrops?
Not often.
And, with brilliant sunshine to go along with it, the outdoors offered one giant postcard or two or three and maybe even a whole lot more.
The best part of the early snowstorm: it fell only in the mountains, allowing us to get our work done while enjoying the beauty from afar.
We had some cold, crisp air with a little wind-enhancing bitterness, but that was okay.
Monday was a whole lot prettier than Sunday, but we must not discount Sunday cuz its ugly weather provided a thorough cleanse making Monday color all the more spectacular.
We enjoyed the day, constantly busy with numerous winterizing projects.
The travel trailer went for its winterizing and came home to its winter home in the shop.
Garrett Poelstra showed up with his excavator for some work he's going to do today, replacing a culvert in the lane. When the end falls off from a metal culvert, it's probably time for replacement.
Today Steve, the farrier will also come to give the horses their last pedicure before they move over to Roxane's tomorrow.
This morning I filled the cart with hay for their breakfast for the last time and scattered their "last supper" in the barnyard.
In a few minutes, I'll take a run to my medical provider's office for a blood draw, needed for the good ol' Medicare Wellness checkup coming in early November.
Lots of "to do's" this week, to say the least, but when it's all done, we can take a break, sit back, relax and maybe even do some long-awaited traveling.
In the midst of it all, we are ecstatic about the Seattle Mariners. Two more games and their first World Series. Hope it happens.
Gotta go! Happy Tuesday.
Enjoy the photos.
