Had a small elk herd with a younger bull keeping tabs on his harem here a week ago. Saw a a few groups of birds flocking up. Temps in the low 40's a few nights. Fortunately it's moderated the last few days.
Damn aspen tree along the road has turned gold. Too early!
Down in the Sawatch this weekend it still felt like summer. No real color yet in the trees or understory. But it's coming. Oh yes, it's certainly coming!
The "itch" is definitely starting

I saw a large herd of young bros dragging metal rails into the woods on top of Guardsman Pass today, l tracked their path silently and it was really special to see them migrating to higher ground once again.
The Turn is here; indeed.
Yellow and brown leaves on the ground walking my dog this morning. Windstorm did it's job. #theturn
Bow huntin', hayin', puffy for the AM dog walk = the turn
Hopefully I can get to enjoying summer now.

Seek NOAA.
Focus on ENSO, PDO, AO and NAO.
46F in the morning, amber light angles, toasted crunchy alder leaves on the drive.
Tomatos, gladiolas and dahlias exploding in the chaos garden as well as the seeding of the basil and lettuces.
Caprese and gazpacho time.
Converging the Cauchy Sequence of ski plans, hoping for good snow in Yurp this year, planning the Rockies loop and double barreled the Puget passes.
To that end, Yurpeans, I'll be out that way mid to end of January and also the SWCO infection in mid to end of Feb.
I'd say it's about the Turn now.
37 this morning.....soon
Recently received the first Powder of the year, first night in the forties in awhile, first ski dream this season last week. Yep, it's coming.
woke up from a great powder run dream last night, open trees and white room conditions......
