August is gone again. I am not ready for the garden to fade away; I got started late so am just now getting into the swing of things. Yet, September has its own blessings for those of us who live in the Rocky Mountains:

I am trying to plan my camping outings for September. It is always tricky trying to guess the peak time for viewing golden Aspens. Another factor to consider: National Forest Service and National Park camp grounds up in the mountains start closing in September. In the Bighorns, September 17 is the closure date.Rocky Mountain National Park campgrounds close September 28. This is one of the best months to hit National Parks since kids are back in school. I should be able to get out my “weekends” of the 9th and 23rd. More adventures coming right up!

May your September be filled with blessings and perhaps a few flakes of snow!
