Update and unbiased awesome self shot photo's....

Mother in law is back home and ready to start the targeted radiation on the brain lesions on Friday (if all goes well with scheduling). She is just about back to normal, but that will only last so long without the radiation. As with all things in life, we have no idea how much quality time this will provide, but there are already talks of Hawaii and other things she has wanted to do but put off.
6 months, 1 year, 10 years... nobody knows so as with all things, we can only do the best in the time we are given. Last night was only the second time we were both home, sleeping in the same bed, in 2+ weeks.

Thanks again for all the well wishes and prayers. I consider you all blogging friends and it does mean something when you post your thoughts.

In the meantime we did get away as I mentioned in a previous post for some cabin time. This included riding ATV's in the freezing cold and some scenery hunting. It was an easy hunt, I could take photo's all day of the area.
The difference between the two homesteads is amazing, the city one has almost all the leaves on the tree's still, most of the green. The cabin will have no leaves in another week and I've had the fireplace cranked up when we are hanging out there.

I've been focusing on adding to our preps and getting ready for winter. Black Friday sales will be here soon, I tend to do a large purchase of long term supplies during those sales (online only, not doing retail mob riots). We still  have several hundred tomatoes on the vine, ripe ones are getting snacked on, green ones are awaiting salsa making. The weather shows about 2 more weeks before frost, so that's more taco toppings, salad fixings, etc. while we wait.

Here are some pictures out of the dozens and dozens. I'm going to get some printed and framed for the cabin, the walls are bare. I hope you have a good monitor, they look amazing on my iMac.

    1. Thanks, we love the Aspens, the ones right next to the cabin just started turning so it's been a long and wonderful season for colors.

    1. The bonus of more than 90 days of non-winter :)

      I'm glad you like the photo's, I can't wait for snow photo sessions (and snow photo's from you).

  3. As always, beautiful terrain there. I'm sure you needed to get away for a bit.

    1. It was a much needed break for everyone, sometimes we have to step away to realize how great everything really is. Big picture stuff.
      Glad you liked the photo's
