Merry Christmas from our home to yours!!

This is what you picture the ranch looking like at Christmas time right? After all, it is the Rocky Mountains and it is December. Unfortunately and not to disappoint anyone, it does not appear that we will have a white, snowy holiday season here at the ranch. (However, for you skiers, the high country has been getting lots of snow which will make for a great time on the slopes) No worries...Even though we do not have snow, we are still most definitely in the Christmas spirit! The weather was perfect for Christmas tree cutting, our family tradition (see the picture of the kids carrying the tree). Light snow falling, the smell of musty leaves and the river edges glazed with a touch of ice and snow. We were a little late this year getting our tree as we waited for Hayley to get home from school and fitting into Tyler's busy schedule. Decorating the tree is always an adventure...pulling out ornaments that we have collected from all over. Tyler decided to choose the topper for this years tree....only temporary! We give it a "thumbs up." :)

Enjoy this beautiful time of year, when friendships are the best gifts.


Happy Holidays from all of us at the Ranch!!

Time To Reflect.............Part 2

As the Christmas season is fast approaching and December 1st is already here, I thought it would be the appropriate time to post the second part of our "reflection" pictures.

Our native bald eagle, "Baldy" has returned to the valley once again and was spotted soaring above the river this morning down here through the ranch. No matter how many times he passes through, he is always a site to see. We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and is looking forward to the holiday season! We hope to see everyone next year at the ranch. http://www.northforkranch.com/

































HAPPY TRAILS!!!!
