Bountiful in the Fall

Being busy with remodeling projects pretty much every moment, we really don't get out to see gorgeous spots as much as we used to. Luckily for us, there is gorgeousness all around us here in Bountiful. These are pictures we took on our evening walks. Just down the street are two rivers we cross, which have fantastic leaves right now. Of course, the beauty of autumn here is nearly eclipsed by the inevitability of the coming hellishness of Northern Utah winters. We try to enjoy the short month of great weather and wonderful colors before the four long months of colorless, lifeless, polluted, bleak, kill-me-now-before-it-snows winters. Perhaps global warming will kick in for real this winter and give us a reason to live up here.

Putting the coming death-of-all-that-lives aside, autumn up here really is spectacular. We drove up the street to Mueler Park/Mill Canyon the other day and the leaves were at their peak. It was really spectacular.

Sweet post Lance B.! But I thought this one was going to be our attempt to make our friends and family jealous and make them want to move up here by us. How did that "hellish death and dismemberment" bit sneak in there? Entirely too honest. Lovely pictures though...I especially love all the colors in our very own back yard (as seen in other posts).

Just think how neat that hill by your house would be to go sledding on. It would be awesome! You live by the temple, too. Very cool! The leaves, the temple, the mountains, come on! You live in a fabulous place! Plus, you have stores. Can't beat that!

Our Family Blog

Well, as trendy as it is, we jumped on the blogwagon and started our own family blog. We will try and occasionally tell everyone what we are up to, and to prevent hours of searching through our intolerably exiting lives, we will try to keep it as concise and attractive as possible.
