Autumn is coming!



It isn't freezing at night yet, but it's getting close to it. Oaks are turning and folks say there's fall color up at Silverton. So, we're looking forward to lots of autumn color on our trip back east.

Right now, it's just comfortable days and cool nights. Yesterday afternoon there were a buncha folks working on the mural wall that will brighten up "the hole" ... three lots where two buildings burned several years ago.

The lower picture is especially timely, with the Mancos Valley Balloon Festival only a week away. We're busy getting cards and prints from past balloon festivals ready and then we'll be busy capturing the colorful scenes of this year's event. Concurrent with the festival, though unrelated, is the SW Trader's Rendezvous at the Cortez Cultural Center. The coordinator told me yesterday that several former superintendents of Hubbell Trading Post NHS are slated to be there, so this former HUTR supt. may go over and see if there's anyone he knows. tv
