New Baby

This is the newest addition to the family. She won't stay in the barn, she thinks she belongs to the house. Kylee brought her home from a horse show. Her name is Niblet. You can see a little frost left on the ground. Beautiful days--cold and clear--which makes the nights cold and frosty morns. The sky at night is beautiful. At least a mega trillion+ stars. there are no lights up here so the sky is extra beautiful

Sunny Saturday

Beautiful day today. Shannon and Kylee are in Monroe Team Penning and I am doing Saturday chores.

Fall evenings and mornings

Wednesday it rained like a gully washer and then Thursday was Beautiful but chilly so the sky was a wonder. Woke up this morning to pretty white frost. 3 pics.
1. Sunset
2. Moonrise
3. Early this morning
Supposedly the biggest full moon this year. Do you believe everything you read in the paper?
The paper might be crazy but I meant brightest and fullest. Is that better? OK??

Kitchen spot

My road-tripping friend Deena has this beautiful corner in her house. I hadn't been to her house in just ages so when I opened the door and in her entry, on the way to the kitchen is this little corner wall and it is decorated just so fine. Deena and her Mother do a lot of canning, etc. and some things are displayed here. I think it is great.

More stuff

On My Yakima Canyon Rd. trip I saw this interesting object in the hillside. Wondering what it was I parked the car and climbed up the hill and saw this monument. Now I have find out who Angus McPherson is.
Yesterday I worked outside picking up branches and other debris from our last week windstorm and blowing leaves off the front porch, walkway and driveway. Of course it is just the beginning of 'Falling Leaf Season'.
Also a pic of last nights sunset--6-ish PM.
Off to see my Mother today and see what new project she has going. MB

Some stuff

I have so much to write about my little road trip---I just don't know where. Washington is cut in half (almost) by the Cascade Mountains. The western side is Closer to the ocean and is wetter and more tree covered. Tthe eastern side is drier, not as populated, bigger ranches and farms. A beautiful area . I did go over the mountains to Ellensburg. The mountains already are piling up the winter snow, Ate lunch in Ellensburg and decided to go down the Yakima Canyon Rd, which is beautiful.
The Canyon Rd. has terrific scenery and lots of wildlife. We (my friend Deena) saw Big Horn Sheep and some Elk. There were lots of fisherman out and we saw an Osprey catch a fish.The southern end of the canyon is framed by huge basalt faces that tower hundred of feet above the river. There are many roadside parks and this time of year it is beautiful there. The golden fall leaves glow next to the brown hills.
So here are just a few pictures---more later.
Deena and I laughed ourselves silly over just about anything.

Food for the birds

The lovely red berries will be beautiful and also nutritious for the birds this winter. It is a Washington Hawthorn
