Just a fun picture -note there is no driver! (Actually car was on a trailer) We’re headed back to Colorado to our cabin for some rest and relaxing. No agenda to do work on the cabin or property (although knowing us work will happen!). We decided to just spend some time at Selah Acres and enjoy a quiet adventure before our next SOWER project.
Before leaving Glorieta, we shopped at their “yard sale” and picked up a few items for the cabin. Dennis spent a couple of says sanding and refinishing a great old wood floor lamp – looks great in our rustic cabin setting!
Lorree picked out some thermal lined curtains…..and just hung them up! No alterations, they fit perfectly. thank you God for always supplying our needs. perfectly!
While “home” we had the Pellet Stove serviced – replaced the auger motor, and we also had the well serviced. We installed a well head freeze drain for winterization. I think we are done will all the necessities for now!
Thankful for the beauty (and quiet) of this new place. The colors in the Aspen tree leaves are starting to turn gold – fall is on the way. Thankful we were able to capture some of these moments this year!
We made a day trip to Fortr Morgan to see Mom – she’s doing so well! COVID masks are still something we have to work with – but thankfully we can take off our masks when we eat!
Lorree is busy working on her newest quilt for the cabin. It was fun to be able to work on it while there. Just enough room to lay it out and get it all pinned and ready for the sewing machine! It will look great on our bed!
Dennis spent some time cleaning our guns and we even did some target practice. Its fun having our own land away from everyone where we can do these things!
Oh yes…we had to have our ribs! They were great!
Duane and Ruth, Louis and Christine came for an afternoon to see us (and the cabin!) It was a fun time of visiting and sharing some great bacon burgers with all the fix’ins – YUM!
We had so many days of just relaxing – doing some things we haven’t done for quite a while. Dennis dug out his paints and worked on a new painting – trying to capture the cabin in the trees. Still a WIP (work-in-progress).
We hiked the Guffey Gorge, only about 6 miles from the cabin. It was a beautiful hike through a gorge and up and down lots of rocks. There was a swimming hole that many people come to during the busy summer months. We only met a couple of people during the entire hike. It was very picturesque and quiet. So fun to know we have these adventures in our backyard!
The creek was soooo clear (and cold!) we were able to watch the small rainbow trout darting in and out under the rocks. Look who is at the end of my rainbow, love you Lorree!
Our cabin adventure came to an end. We cleaned the cabin, the truck, and winterized the cabin. We’ll be back in December (Lord willing!) to celebrate our 48th anniversary and enjoy a white Christmas adventure this year!
