Another fun-filled week has flown by. It started with the local college football rivalry game: Utah Utes versus BYU Cougars, commonly referred to in these parts as the Holy War! Guess which team I was rooting for!

And guess who won…again…that’s eight years running! Another reason to celebrate: a Ute win means Jenny’s traditional celebratory sugar cookies.

We watched from the comfort of Hawkes Landing, which means more fall leaf pictures.

And if that’s not enough to convince you that fall is in the air, check out the temperature at the top of Guardsman Pass (an elevation of 9,700 feet above sea level): 51 degrees F.

And this week’s pumpkin tasting: a cream cheese pumpkin muffin from Starbucks.

Another highlight of this week was spending time with family celebrating birthdays. First was dinner with our eight-year-old granddaughter Piper.

Happy birthday Piper!

And then pizza and cake in the park for my niece AnnaLynn’s fifth birthday.

By the way, I’m married to the Baby Whisperer.

And last but not least, is there a better way to start the day than a beautiful rainbow over cloud art?

  1. This week I took a ride in Mark’s hot rod for the first time. It’s fast and loud. I don’t really watch a lot of sports but I think volleyball is fun to watch. Have fun at the cabin!

  2. Pumpkin tasting…had my first sample in a Krispy Kreme pumpkin doughnut. Delish. I think I will seek something pumpkin-y once a week. It is almost our duty as bloggers and fall-lovers, to sample and report back, don’t you think?

    We are still ‘sufferin’ summer with temps close to 100, breaking new records for September. No sign of a cold front in sight. So will enjoy fall through your camera lens for now.

    1. What a great idea, Leslie–a weekly pumpkin sample. I’ve already started, quite by accident (pumpkin scone, pumpkin muffin).

      Our weather changed so suddenly! From near 100 to 70s to mid-60s in two days’ time. It looks like next week will be a temperature rollercoaster too.
