Hey, winter is coming fast.....the days are shorter and shorter.  It is getting dark around 5 with the shadow over the mountain covering the lodge around 3 every day.  Kinda cozy but still would be nice if we'd get some snow!!! The Saints are loving the cold.  They romp for hours.
Hendrix did very well at his "training " school at the prison.  I highly recommend the program
He spent a month in 24/7 handling with a prisoner.  He came out like a new dog.
Of course St Bernards are a very independant breed as it is, but he truely is a wonderful, protective,gentle giant.  I'll not have any other breed, even with the drool and short life span.  This dog comes closer to human understanding than any I have been around. 
Enough rambling......life is good.  We survived the fires and the floods and now are looking forward to a wonderful winter with a great year ahead.
Via con Dios....

Fall colors

The colors are spectacular, and out little buddies are enjoying the weather.  Gonna get cold tonight....brrrrr.
But we are ready for some snow and fun.........

The water is blue, crystal clear, the mountains have snow on top....and the leaves are a changin.....
This is the most beautiful time of the year in the Pike's Peak region.  Up and down Ute Pass all the way to Cripple Creek, the drives are outstanding.
Truely, this is God's country......

Fall is in the Air

It's getting crisp in the mornings and the leaves are starting to change here in Cascade, and up on the Pikes Peak Highway at the Crystal Reservoir......absolutely beautiful.

Come hike beautiful Garden of the Gods.  This was just after sunrise Thursday morning.  The skies don't get any bluer than in Colorado.  This is truely God's country.
And see!!!! The fires didn't even touch us.
