Chi! Chi! Chi! Le, Le, Le!

The rescue is complete.

It was heartwarming to watch

and I am thankful to have seen it.

Don't you still have lots of questions?

I know that I do.

I am sure that we will

get the answers in the form of

books, movies and interviews.

These men and their families

will never be the same.

I pray that the change will be for good

and that they will not loose sight

of the prayers and the miracles

that brought them to the surface.

Meanwhile, back in the mountains...

For you will go out with joy 

And be led forth with peace;

The mountains and the hills

will break forth

into shouts of joy before you,

And all the trees of the field

will clap their hands.

Soup, Sleep and the Fall Season!

I brought six months

of bank statements to reconcile.

Yes, I had a little catching up to do.

I have never been so far behind!

DONE!

I made a huge pot of vegetable soup

yesterday and am enjoying it this week.

I have slept late,

purged some files,

done some Bible study,

watched the rescue of the Chilean minors

with tears coming and going,

exercised a little
and read some.

And, it's not over, yet!

With still another day ahead,

I am so enjoying the beauty

of the fall season in the mountains.

Thank you for watching

the leaves turn with me!

brrrr...

It was 31 degrees this morning!

The fall foliage is incredible.

It looks like gold

 flowing across the mountains

and spilling down the valleys.

The high temperature today was mid-fifties

with rain.

Time for a fire!

mmmmm....

And the winner is...

Haley!

Thank you for your comment!

I love candy corn and fall, too!

As soon as this travel mug arrives,

I will get it to you!

Time for Raspberries!

It was a perfect Fall day for picking raspberries!

So, I made a detour to Salman Ranch

on my way to the cabin

The fields were not too busy.

The raspberries were good.

I've seen better years and

I've seen worse years.

But this year is almost over.

The first frost is due anytime.

Arriving at the cabin,

I found beautiful color!

It's the time of year that constantly

draws me to the front deck.

Until I remembered the raspberries!

I picked two pounds of raspberries

and made one jar of jam!

Oh wait...

I bought one jar of jam. 

Off to the freezer!

4 Wheelers

Each year our 4 Wheelers make a trip to Amarillo

for maintenance in preparation for a big trip.

They looked particularly sad this time.

Needing more than normal maintenance,

they waited patiently.

A tie rod end and a CV joint boot were replaced.

Tires were ordered, delivered & mounted.

Hooray!

Here they come!

Happy 4 wheelers!

Ready for Utah

 and another year in New Mexico!
