Happy Halloween!

Halloween in San Diego with the Dixon's!

It's the era of the Sizzling 60"s and Free Love. We have had so much fun having Grandma and Grandpa here in San Diego with us. They are great sports for letting us dress them all up!!!

Autumn in Woodland - 2008

Mom and I had to get away for another day in the mountains. We visited with Aunt Lois and took her to lunch in Kamas. After we returned it was time for a stroll around the ranch along the edge of the Provo River. Hope you enjoy this spot as much as I do.

Sisters Forever

Can you believe that we are sisters forever? It was fun spending the afternoon with Lois and enjoying the fall weather along the Provo River in Woodland. Lois has shrunk but then she is only 5'2" with or without her rifle.

Provo River in its Fall Beauty

Can you believe how beautiful the Provo River can be in the Fall of the year? We enjoyed being on the Carlile Ranch this afternoon and soaking in the scenery.

Our Own Annie Oakley

Those varmits will never get very far (the four legged human type) or any other type for that matter. She is our very own Annie Oakley. Of course, this was the opening day of the Utah annual Deer Hunt and you never know when a deer will wander onto the Carlile Ranch.

Noel W. Peterson Brand Irons

These are the Peterson branding irons. The one on the left is Fred A. Peterson CrowFeet brand that was used on his horses, cattle, and sheep. The iron on the right is Noel W. Peterson NP brand used on his horses and cattle. He had a smaller hand held brand that was dipped in paint and placed on the wool of the sheep

Timpanogos at Sunset

It has been raining for the past couple of days in American Fork with snow predicted above the 8000 foot level. This afternoon the storm broke, the clouds cleared and the sun came out in the early evening. There was quite a bit of snow dumped on Mt. Timpanogos. It makes a beautiful picture of fall in American Fork.

Alpine Loop - September 2008

Last week we took the Hatches and drove over the Alpine Loop to look at the turning autumn leaves.We are official leaf peepers. We were a little late or they hadn't started to turn yet. Then last week took a drive to Woodland to visit Aunt Lois. The leaves around her ranch are beginning to turn yellow and drop. Picked some elderberries and am making jelly this week, so guess what you get as a Christmas gift.

John Carlile's Hay Barn

Remodeled Carlile Ranch House

Lois uses this old building for her wood shed.

Bev and I had a terrific day in the mountains in and around Woodland and visiting the Carlile Ranch during the Fall days.  Lois has a very pleasant and serene place on the Provo River. We have had many enjoyable days visiting with Lois.
