There is a small window of time in August when you can feel the ending of Summer
A stillness —- a time of mellow quiet
I felt it last night. A promise of over-the-top heat ending and the mellow ripeness of Autumn coming.
A Turn is starting to occur. We may still have some heat, but not like before, for not as long.
Not for long.

Happy Trails to you! Go Out and Ride somewhere—car, truck, ORV, horse, mule–somewhere in something to take you away for a spell 🙂
My favorite heroes of all time!
Happy Trails My Friends,

Probably one of the hardest things to do—
But the only way to approach life!
Just say’n.

The day starts at first light—
I go with Mom and Dad and
Boo, although I don’t ride in the blue thing on that loud thing Mom drives.
Nope. Just the goofy dog rides.
Just say’n,
TLC
Although, I can’t seem to get a photo of those mean, but beautiful little birds
I know their arrival is a signal that Fall is approaching.
They will be with us for about three to maybe four weeks then move on. When they move on so will all the little hummers.
Summer is becoming late summer now.

Oh! My Gosh!!! A huge branch came crashing down
Blocking the road and the bridge —just making a huge mess
Gradually we got it all cleaned up; I kept some of the wood for winter heat
Some were too big to save so we hauled away to live in the weeds; providing homes for the critters out there.
Thankfully no hen, no kitty or human was standing under it when it fell!

There is a huge fire on the Uncompahgre Plateau. It’s on the Montrose side, but only 32 miles from us.
We are safe—lots of forests, canyons, etc. between us and the fire—but still….
Rain! COME ON RAIN!

As the night starts to cover the earth
The deer come out to feed.
And we finish up the last set of the day.

We loaded up and headed to the last pull of the year—the Delta County Fair, in Hotchkiss, Colorado
First Place! Not Bad.
