There was once a lonely little cabin. Sitting abandoned and forlorn for nearly 2 years, it was quickly deteriorating. The driveway caved in, the mice took over, the basement leaked, the master bedroom had nothing but the outside walls, and the plumbing was shot. But a girl and her hubby saw potential, and after 8 months and a day of foreclosure-red-tape-agony, they finally closed and it was theirs. Like a play-house from her childhood (called a wendy house in the UK), it was a dream come true. The girl and her hubby rescued the lonely cabin, and plan to live happily ever after. Let the fun begin!

The End of Summer

Summer here in the mountains is quickly saying good bye! The temps are cooling, the days are getting shorter, and the lush green of summertime is now taking on a golden hue. I'm so excited about the change in seasons! Although I love each season, autumn in the mountains is a glorious thing to behold. It's like living in a rainbow.

Early morning rain just after a summer sunrise.

The hummers will soon be migrating to warmer climates for the winter. I'll miss their antics around the flowers and feeder!


Unusual cloud formation over the mountain.


Orange zinnia I planted from seed this spring. I have enjoyed them so, and plan on collecting some of the seeds to plant next spring.


Here is a current pic of our cabin. It looks so different than the pic in the header. There is new life, and color, and so much joy in the last year!

Good bye, Summer. See you next year!
