Finally Fall . . .

(Thank you, Pinterest)

Well, it's officially fall!  And because it was a nice day, and I didn't have anything better to do ;0)  I convinced my husband to take me to the hills.  And I was not disappointed. . .



This is a little log cabin that is on it's last leg. . . It's falling down and soon, it will be gone forever.  It's been here as long as I can remember, most likely built by a homesteader in the late 1800's.  I wish I knew more about it, I would love to know it's history.  




The mahogany's are always the first to turn colors.  Because of the smoke they look a little muted, but they were still so beautiful!




It was very smoky, especially in the mountains, but still gorgeous!  The colors are just starting to change, so It looks like I will be making another trip in the next few weeks.  I can't wait!

Happy Fall!!  

Hugs and Love,

Barb

Hi Barb, your stunning photography captures the essence of the autumn season in your area. I share your love for this beautiful time of year, even though my area hasn't yet received the memo.

Happy Fall Barb. Your area is so beautiful and I still have Idaho on my bucket list for us to go visit. Such beauty in those hills. Have you ever been down to the cabin. It would be interesting to see what the inside looks like. Hope on your next visit to the hills, you will take lots more photos of that beautiful country.

Lovely pictures, Barb. I don't see the smoke. It looks like a beautiful day.
Did you ever look inside the little log cabin? I'd love to know its history as well.

Hi Barb. I love all of your photo's. Fall is such a wonderful time of year. I made the Caramel Apple Bundt cake recipe that you shared and it is so delicious. Thank you again for sharing it. This will be a Fall go to recipe.

A beautiful day trip indeed, I can only imagine how pretty the trees will be in a few weeks, our beautiful mountains are getting the brunt of Helene toady, as we are getting lots of rain and wind too!
Thank you for stopping by and for your sweet comment, it seems I am having such a slow time in getting back to blogging regularly, hoping that changes soon, I always enjoy seeing what you are doing1
