Grand Mesa in the Fall

Dusty on the dropped leaves

Some leaves are still green but will turn quickly now

This summer has been dry.  Here, one of the 300+ lakes/reservoirs on Grand Mesa is dry as a bone.

End of the Harvest

We didn't have any idea that we would reap such a cornucopia.  The best garden we ever grew was this hot summer.  There are still squash plants producing as well as the pole beans and winter squash.

Gigi

Exactly 3 years ago at 3.5 years old, Gigi was diagnosed with Leukemia.  She went through horrendous treatment including spinal taps, transfusions, balding and chemo for nearly 18months.  Look at her today.  The poster girl for miracles. 

The top of Grand Mesa

Kitty and I decided to ride on the County Line at the top of Grand Mesa.  We followed some skidoo and x-country trails. 

Horses

 

Miha has to learn how to load in the trailer.  This works good.  Put her feed inside and she has to figure it out for herself.

Bountiful harvest

Gosh, and this is only some of it.  There are potatoes, winter squash, berries and grapes, plums and pumpkins.

A favorite pic

I was going to post something new when I came across this picture in my computer.  I love it.  We were at Grandpa John's in Prescott and the girls were playing outside.  Gigi was furious at her sister and no one knew exactly why.  A few months later the girls were at the farm and my friend, Meredith, showed the picture to Gigi and asked her what she was so angry about.  Gigi promptly said, "Because Bella got me all dirty".
