Quiet day

 

It was a good drive yesterday in perfect weather. The fall colors were beautiful and the "Larch Madness" frenzy in full swing in the North Cascades. Parked cars lined the highway for at least a quarter mile in both directions around the popular trailheads. Probably more people than larches up there...

The clock is running out on fall weather in the high country, and the first mountain snow predicted this weekend. Here we go again. Our usual route over Blewett Pass is open, but with delays and a pilot car moving traffic through the burn areas. 

Downtown Twisp all decorated as usual, with a collection of creative scarecrows on the street corners. Monopoly Uncle Moneybags parked in front of city hall. 

 

We dropped by The Confluence Gallery to check out their new show called "Rhapsody in Hue." I really liked this blue bowl and bought it! Something I rarely do so that’s exciting. I’ll pick it up in November after the show closes. In the meantime,  other people can admire it. The local artist called it "Galaxy Bowl” which is perfect. 

Tonight we celebrate Maya's birthday. Karen and Brice invited us over tomorrow, then back to Seattle Friday.
