The fall colors here in Utah are spectacular. When I came back to SLC this afternoon, I drove the long way around. I drove up Provo Canyon to Heber City (by our cabin), but stayed on Highway 89 past Park City, and down Parley's Canyon to SLC. It took me a couple of hours, but the colors were breathtakingly beautiful. It was a perfect fall day here in Utah. Here is a picture that shows the colors (this isn't the canyon I drove through, but the colors were the same.) I'm off to bed, I'll tell you all about my family togetherness weekend tomorrow.
To: Utah Girl
Breathtaking!
They're saying that we won't have much fall color here this year because we've had too much rain. We're going to Knoxville in mid-October (which means crossing the mountains) so I guess we'll find out. We think it's really cool of our regional director to have scheduled a workshop then .... :-)
The company pays for the trip and we will get to see son and d-i-l one evening and take our time coming home seeing whatever fall color there is. Not bad!
G'night, sweetie. Sleep tight!

Mmmmm, Kay, that coffee is great! My biggest problem all week was how to crush the beans I'd bought on Tuesday... We've got a good stove-top coffee maker. Needless to say, my bean-smashing schemes all failed, and Maxwell House had to carry us through.
Utah Girl, the reading was great. My distemper at sunset was quelled by the discovery that the Container Store had 8 units in stock of the miner's lamp, a flashlight attached to a headband. They had 8 in stock before the storm. Seems that nobody figured on this for the storm. I got four. The store manager said he was going to put up a window display and order more.
With the miner's light you just sit back in your fave chair (my grandfather's, which is perfect), and let the 4-AA batteries and halogen lamp make that book alive. I re-read Kennedy's "Profiles in Courage" and otherwise spent my time in political theory books (...tedious... but great).

Happy to see you back. Good thinking on the miners cap. You simply do not see those for sale just anywhere.

My biggest problem all week was how to crush the beans I'd bought on Tuesday...What you forgot to bring in was a 2-year-old ...... those beans would have been smashed in a heartbeat ..... *grins*
I would never have thought about a miner's light ...... what a grand idea!
Jane ~~~ take note of that idea.

Incredible fall color. Ours hasn't started yet, except for the crops. The soybeans have turned yellow and will soon progress to brown and drop their leaves. The corn has turned a golden tan. No turning is evident in the trees yet.
To: Iowa Granny
A funny story about soybeans .....
We had a friend who was the computer guru at the textile plant where hubby worked but also was a farmer .... as were many of the people who worked at the plant. Someone once asked Steve if we didn't need frost before the soybeans could be harvested. His quick reply was that the only thing frost was needed for was to kill the morning glories .... :-)
In this neck of the woods, it can be hard to tell sometimes just which crop a farmer is raising .... soybeans or morning glories.

We don't have a lot of Morning Glory problems. One year I planted gourds and planned to train them on the fence beside a bean field. Well, the field was quite a ways from the house and I only made a couple of trips out there during the summer to train and secure the vines to the fence.
When fall came, Hubby found the wayward vines. The gourds got pierced and threaded onto the gathering tines of the combine and the vines got wrapped up on the reel of the bean head. Needless to say, the next spring any suggestion of planting gourds to grow up a fence along the soybean field was nixed immediately.
To: Iowa Granny
I planted some goards this year on the farm, did not do at all. I MUST get that soil sample and correct whatever problem I have with the ground. I want some big ones to make bird houses our of them.
