In case ya havent noticed, fall is rapidly turning into something cooler! We have been busy around here making sure the pantry, stackyard and woodshed are all stocked up. Mrs. H and little H went crazy puttin' up peaches. Littlest H just thinks they are crazy! :roll: 
Making a dent into 2 bushels of ripe Elberta peaches!
Making a bigger DENT! She ended up with 51 quarts of prospective pie guts!
A big part of fall around here is the deer hunt. Meat in the freezer and horns on the wall baby! Here's some shots of this mornin's look-around. The leaves are swapping colors on the maple and oaks.
The early light was sure pretty on these old dead pinion pine skeletons!
We have a big storm bearing down us today and tonight. Snow down to 5500 feet and we live at 5800 and change. So the wind made it tough to find deer but the view was worth the hike!
Sabey mountain on a late September morn
The grass is dormant but still packs nutrition for cows and calves this time of year. Everyone hopes to use as much as they can till the snow burys it.
I know it isn't as spiffy as big ol' pine logs that don't have any limbs and comes pre-split and stacked! :roll: :wink: But that shed mostly full of cedar and oak looks great from here! 
Now please don't judge me like I'm an off-spring of Soap and am handy with metal. We got an old, rusty, beat-up woodstove from my Bro-in-law. I should'a took a before shot but i'm not as bright as I appear! :shock: Here's the after........ after grinding and brushing and acid treatment and cussing a blue streak. Ought'a burn our pitiful wood!
Supposed to get a killer freeze tonight so littlest H was busy packin' veggies out of the garden. Must save the pumpkins for carving!
Tonight we made a pinenut run back on the mountain. Pinion pinenuts are one of the reasons desert life is pretty sweet! We got a feed bag full and had fun doing it!
We did find a sheltered spot in a draw to take a family picture. At an area where they gathered up a spring into a pipe for a series of troughs.
Heading down to the truck on the wheeler we spotted this little dude! He's a late calf that 2 kids I know wanted to take home with us! But they frown on that in these parts!
The front has brought a ton of dust into our valley. The sun looked neat heading west through the dirt though! Hope ya'll have things in order for the season to come. Hope you all enjoy your evening and sleep like a pig in a blanket! :roll:
