Another Sunday and after church another lunch in Chewelah and on the way home we diverted here and there to see some new roads. It was our goodbye to summer drive. I didn’t have my big camera with me so had to use my phone.
As you drive into Colville you’ll notice a mountain above Main street. Besides the cross there is a big C on this mountain.
Continuing on through town we turn onto our road which is sometimes called skunk alley.
Sorry for the visual of why it got that name. Hold your nose and turn off your air vents.
A favorite weeping willow we see close to home.
Into our drive and we notice one of the trees changing color.
The last day of summer afforded us a nice drive and a relaxing evening. It was the calm before the storm.
The footings for the shop are ready for the support posts to be set and the concrete to be ordered. We were so grateful for our son’s help. Dear continues working hard. I’ll need to take a photo of the holes.
Hope your week is going well.
Borrowing part of a prayer from Spurgeon…
Lord let your living water flow. Flow to my family and my friends, and let it not pass me by…

Hello, lovely views from your Sunday drive. The mountains and trees are a lovely sight. Wishing you a happy day!
Lovely photos. Your landscape is so beautiful. B x
…thanks for taking me on this spin around the block.
Hopefully when I am there the fall colors will be in full display.
A Sunday Drive is a wonderful tradition. I like that cross on the hillside. Hope that your week goes very well and that the project is a smooth process.
Such pretty views along your Sunday drive. We see a lot of skunks that have gotten hit too around here.
Looks so lovely there, Ellen. It looks like fall color is coming soon to your area. It’s nice your husband has help with such a large project. Have a happy week.
Ellen – I adore weeping willows. You have to imagine a tree that size is getting on to 100 years old, maybe? Funny you mention the “calm before the storm.” We had a lovely fall day today – blue skies with puffy clouds and a high of 68. Tomorrow it all changes with rain and much cooler temps. SNOW in the forecast for Saturday and Sunday with a high of 37! Yikes.
