A Beautiful Fall Day in the Mountains

Right now I'm sitting outside on my deck surrounded by various pines and beautiful aspens, their leaves now a vibrant gold. Even at our altitude (about 8000 feet) we had a glorious seventy degree day. The sun has dipped behind the Rockies and the air has cooled somewhat, but still, I'm enjoying a beer and a cigar. I figure this may be one of the last days I'll be able to utilize my outside office.

Soon all those golden leaves will be off the aspens, but we'll still be surrounded by the deep green of the Engelman Spruces among other species, and the chittering of the squirrels will remain as will their scampering amongst the rocks near the stream below the deck.

I love living in the Rockies, in our little town of Evergreen.
