What a special surprise when we arrived at the cabin at Selah Acres! Special local friends gifted us with some fall decor and a very special guest book for all those who will be guests at the cabin in the coming years! Short story – we were able to let a couple stay for a restful weekend while we were serving in New Mexico – and this is a result of that.
Let us know if you are in the area – and need a “Selah Pause” from this crazy world, maybe things would work out for you to get refreshed and re-energized at this quiet peaceful place!
If you know us – we can’t be found sitting around around too long. Since we didn’t have the RV with us this trip, we took advantage of the opportunity to make a level parking area for it next time we bring it home. Dennis had the pick and shovel going and was able to use the cement pads given to us to create a landing for the trailer tires. We’ll be able to test it out next spring – hopefully its level! (…and Dennis can back it in between the trees!)
The beautiful landscape wasn’t as green and lush as when we left in August and Fall was certainly in the air now. We enjoyed seeing these graceful deer, some active rabbits and a few majestic bucks wandering around these acres. So thankful for the beauty God blesses us with – every day – wherever we are at!
We headed over to the fence that needed some repair with our bucket of wire and tools. The neighbors horses heard the bucket and came running! It’s fun to have these horses nearby, they’re older and don’t go riding any more, but they are very loving and make our day every time we get to pet and feed them.
So we decided that we are officially “ranchers” now that we know how to stretch and repair our barbed wire fence around the property. We learned that one section along road 102 had been damaged by a car running through it…over eight years ago! Well it’s fixed now!
We made a trip into Colorado Springs and was able to connect with friends and family during the weekend. So glad we live close by when we’re in Colorado, always gives us an opportunity to live life together with kids and grandkids!
…and we tried our hand at fishing at Eleven Mile Reservoir – just 8 miles from our cabin. Didn’t catch anything but was very relaxing and was able to “practice” for next time!
We kept our eye out for the changing colors of fall. It was just in the beginning stages while we were home.
We will sure enjoy the changing seasons next time we are home. We’re making plans to be at the cabin for Christmas – how fun! Next for now, we’re getting ready to head back to New Mexico and pick up our rig to head on to Arizonia for our next SOWER Adventure.
But first we had a great visit with Ron & Deb in Pueblo as we headed South. It was great to connect with them and get caught up with each other. We sure have a blessed family – thankful for God’s faithfulness!
On the road again – we stayed one night at Gallup, NM before heading to Flagstaff and on to Prescott.
We sure enjoy the big sky and big landscapes of the West – what a glorious world we live in! Looking forward to serving at Prescott Pines with some new SOWER friends – what’s in store for us?
