We are all blessed, each and every one of us. But sometimes…just sometimes life gets in the way.
Something that takes us away from looking at the good–something that makes our hearts and minds roil in panic or sadness.
Still the gifts of this world keep on shining…
Telling us to be calm. Given time everything works out.
Everything!
As my dear departed Momma always said: “Everything works out for the best, if you just let it.”
And it does. It really does.
Your friend,

We met Terry’s family in Green River, Wyoming to begin our trip. We live close to the Utah border and they live close to the Wyoming border, meeting at Green River had us (both) driving 6 hours and a few minutes to the destination.
Our route went through Grand Junction and over Douglas Pass, to Rangely, Colorado then onto Green River, Wyoming. I DO NOT LIKE DRIVING DOUGLAS PASS!!! Pretty much straight up with lots and lots and lots (are you car sick yet) curves and straight down with lots and lots and lots (you are car sick now, I’m sure) plus the two-lane highway needs some tender loving care.
The colors were spectacular!
My photo doesn’t give them justice, but here is an idea.
We stayed in an Inn in Wild Horse Canyon, then the next day we drove through the Canyon and we saw a herd of wild horses, (which I thought was really cool).
Of course, you have to take my word for it that they were wild, they are wild.
We looked upon civilization
From the top of the canyon and even saw a train heading somewhere.
The start of the day was pretty cool. We will end the day in Jackson Hole.
Stay Tuned!

P.S. Marie ,from My Little Corner of Rhode Island, is doing a daily 4 o’clock photo, which I thought was a good idea. I asked her if I could steal her idea and do my own 4 o’clock photo showing how the day is moving into the long nights of winter.
She said “SURE”! Actually, she said “steal away” so I did!
These my two 4 o’clock photos on October 9, 2012 in Delta, Colorado.
The shadows are thick but the sunlight still plentiful.

Our cow pasture and the canal banks are full of fall colors
All our dairy and ranching neighbors are chopping corn
and the Maximilian sunflower “Prairie Sunflower” has bloomed. Once it blooms a heavy frost is on its way.
I looked on the Delta, CO weather site and it looks like our night time temperatures are dropping into the late 40’s and early 30’s next week.
I love fall with the warm days and the cool nights. I like that the really hard work is starting to come to an end, and the really good feeling that the cellar is full, the grain bins are full and the hay stacks fat and tall. I like the idea of the holiday’s coming. I vow to not think about the long winter following. But after that dark and dreary time is SPRING. I can hardly wait!
