In more ways than one...
Downtown Twisp is all decorated for Halloween with funny and realistic scarecrows.
I enjoyed walking around town yesterday checking out the spooky neighbors.
Wonder who lives here?
We had a nice weekend visiting and unpacking the little treasures Dave brought from our parent's Cripple Creek house, including these stained glass panels Dad made long ago.
Our Mom was such a creative and energetic person, and she loved collecting, writing and especially recording family history. She was a tireless archivist. Even the most ordinary objects have little notes attached in her familiar handwriting, giving old stuff meaning and context.
One of the things salvaged from their garage was a can containing thousands of matchbooks they obsessively collected since the 1950's. A real trip down memory lane from by-gone places, documenting their long, full lives.
On Saturday, Nova drove us out to the horse barn where she works and rides. Wow. She's a careful driver and seems to be doing really well.
Amanda and I wrestled open the barbed wire gate-from-hell so she could ride Ginger in the adjacent cow pasture.
I'd planned to leave today, but the weather is a rain/snow mixture on the passes. It won't affect the roads, but makes for unpleasant driving. And people tend to freak out (myself included) at the first snowfall. Tomorrow mostly looks sunny and dry so I'll go home then.
It will be many months before I make another solo trip, and I still have some chores to do around here. Winter is closing in fast, and this placid fall view will soon transition to bare trees and snow.
