…And Autumn Around Greeley and Glenmere

We also took a day off of work and explored Greeley. We went to Glenmere Park and took some more autumn photos. Enjoy:


A winding path through a lot of trees


I call this one “Stoplight Leaves”


There were a few geese and ducks, and I loved the reflection of the colors on the lake

Fall Around Our Yard

The shift to our Colorado autumn is in full swing. We usually get about one to two weeks of glorious weather with the trees changing colors and the temperature in the middle of the day maintaining at about 75. Up in the mountains the leaves have all changed and dropped, but here where it’s a little warmer we still have some.

At night we have had a few light frosts and our tomato plants, basil, and peppers probably have about a week left till they are toast. We’ve started cracking out the cold weather foods like hot spiced apple cider, chili con carne (with Fritos and cheese of course) and an evening chai latte or hot cocoa. Still, during the day you can where short sleeves and take walks in the changing colors.

Here are a few pictures of fall around our yard.


Fog over the lake behind our house at dawn


The chickens enjoy our white birch trees’ new colors


The flowers out front still look great!


And a few bees are still out working!
