Thanks for the photo's, Soapweed.
Our 'Fall Color' lasted about 15 minutes and was minus the Cottonwoods as they got a rust in late summer and turned black. Especially all along the Bad river and most of the tributaries on the south side of the river. We had to count on the Red Grass, and it was pretty this year. We got some showers which brings out the color better than dry weather, too. Still quite a bit of color......above the snow in places. Think lots of that snow will disappear in the next few days, tho.
Love the 'tea party' picture! Reminds me that our great girls are old enough to enjoy that. And I need to search out quite a few stored toys and the tea party set the grand girls didn't much care for when they were little. Cups were too little to suit them! That is a wonderful crew you have there, and obviously both of you are building precious memories with them for all of you to hold forever, and 'forever' (when they are grown up) comes faster than imaginable!
Take care and have a great Christmas Season.
