Fall--Flying By

This isn't from Boise, but Stuart took this on his way north-west after visiting. You all KNOW how much I like yellow. Amazing sight.

In case you've wondered, yes, I'm still living and breathing, here in Idaho. :) What on earth possessed me to take five classes, on top of my Graduate assistantship and dissertation preparation? Good golly. Oh, I remember--I'm DONE with classes in SIX weeks! That's why. Okay. I think I'll make it. But I'm going to need some serious decompression time after Dec. 14th when I give my last presentation... Fair warning to my friends and family back home!

Last night's moon over mown hay fields and "purple mountain majesty."
I'm going a tad stir-crazy with all this mental work, but it's what I signed up for, so I can't complain. Wish there was a house to go paint! Arcy is doing well.

Walking with Stuart. You can see the house behind him, days before the big winds stripped the Walnut of leaves and nuts...
She loves to go for her walks, and tries to con me out of another can of food at night. Horses are doing well. They are beginning to look like wooly Yaks.

Hmm, guess who grew in a black winter coat? No more sun-burned brown for her!
Good thing, because it snowed last week!
It's below freezing at night now, and day temps get up into the 50's.

The trees are almost bare of leaves. My walnut tree, besides shedding its leaves and opening up my office window to light, dropped over five 5-gallon buckets of walnuts!

Tribble Eggs! Help, I've been invaded!
Guess what everyone's getting for Christmas? LOL.

It's been a year since I came up here and found this house to rent. Regardless of what one of my friends thinks, I have only been here for 10 months, not two years. But some days it feels like two years!

Here's some pictures from the last month or so. I'm way behind in posting, but I'll make up for it over the winter holiday. Stuart came and visited a couple weeks ago, so I had some motivation to take some animal pictures. :)
