We have snow about 1 hour away — all around us.

We get glimpses of the snow off and on as the clouds move here and there on Grand Mesa.  The weather man says we are to have more rain starting this evening around 6 and then changing to a snow/rain mix after mid-night.

We sure have been having lots of moisture since July.  Although, I am NOT complaining we most assuredly need the snow pack to fill the reservoirs in the mountains…  all this rain is wrecking havoc on the crops and the harvesting of the crops.

Some of you noticed the semi-coming toward us as we drove along I-80….

This was a photo of a  wrecker pulling a semi truck into the shop.  It did so look like a truck coming right at us I had to take a photo.  🙂

This is a semi-load of Honey bees.  They were being transported from somewhere in Nebraska to somewhere else. The lettering on the truck said they were from South Dakota.

This is  one HUGE pile of sugar beets along the way.  The sugar beets were mainly in eastern Colorado and the corner of Nebraska.  The factory behind the pile is defunct now.  We were told that most of the old factories are being torn down.  I suppose this one will be knocked down and cleaned up sometime in the near future.

This is the Great Western Sugar factory those beets are heading here.  There is also an active beet factory in eastern Colorado and other places in the corner of Wyoming and western Nebraska.  I’m not sure where they all are located.

We only saw one wreck and that was in a town and not a bad one, which was good.  And the remains of what must have been a horrible train wreck.

Not seeing wrecks is always a very good thing.

Today Terry is working on the bean combine, putting it to bed for the year and the dogs and I are going out to pick up siphon tubes.

They all have to be picked up before he can start the corn harvest.  (You can see the wind in the corn…sigh) I want to get them done, before the clouds set down any more.

I took this last night…the colors were just outstanding.  Sometimes I think Autumn is a Dr. Seuss world so brilliant and complete yet simple and divine all rolled together.

Have a good one everyone!

Your friend,
