Miscellaneous October Happenings

The last few months have slipped by, full of activity, but not any blogging on my part. Here's some more of our October in pictures. I love looking at these fall flowers, especially after a couple months of snow on the ground here!

We still love the views from our house on the hillside
Some fall colors and clouds causing shadows on the hills
Lon and Carol on an elk hunt

Gail with her nieces and nephews - just TRY to get a picture where all seven of the kids are well posed!! We'll just have to deal with some eyes closed in this one.

The siblings amused at this attempt at a good picture of the three of them...
