Fall Weekend...39º

The Fun Begins

Thanks to Pat's generosity, I spent two days with her at this lovely retreat on the Imnaha River...One of our fellow writers owns this house and shares it as a vacation rental...Our intention was to have other writers join us and when that didn't pan out "We-2" made the drive to Imnaha, taking food, writing material, laptops (no internet) for two days of laughing, exploring, sitting in the sun by day and by the wood stove at night...A comfortable 3 bedroom cottage, well stocked kitchen, this home has been remodeled by the owners using materials from torn-down barns and their innovative ideas to make it truly one of a kind.

Last Hollyhocks of the Season

The hours flew by as we explored the property, taking photos, sitting on the deck and looking out and up the rimrocks hoping to spot some wildlife, always with the sound of the river in the background...Our "guys" drove down on Saturday afternoon to also take a tour of this delightful spot and eat dinner with us...Saturday morning we drove up river a ways and marveled at the beauty in this canyon...The walls of the canyon are green from the fall rains but with oranges, reds and yellow as the foliage turns on these cool fall days... Every flat spot has been cultivated for crops or pasture land.

A cucumber for our salad

It has been a time to treasure and hopefully repeat next year.

Home shortly after noon on Sunday, Herb helped me unpack the car and return everything to its rightful place...I had spaghetti sauce leftover, so we invited Pam to join us for dinner before we took in a concert at the Josephy Center...Gail Swart was releasing her latest CD...We along with more than 50 people sat enthralled for over an hour as she caressed the piano keys as only Gail can...Hugs To All...OWAV:)
