The great blog...

I want you all to know what a beautiful place this is...Utah...on Sat. night water fell from the sky forever & the sky blanketed this great white dust all over the mountains...Rich decided we should take a "guitar poster " drive...we thought that the leaves would be changing that firey red & orange & we'd miss it if we didn't go today...well the change had bearly started....hot flecks of red & orange, but not very many...actually there was more of the very lush grass green because of the rain....the great beauty of the cliffs, shrubs, trees, blue sky, & white mountain dust was astounding..it was so stunning you could actually minimize the fact that Provo Canyon has been gutted in the center, (end to end), like a giant trout to make more room for wheeled travelers..(can't UDOT make beauty a priority?)...we drove up the back side of the mountain from the Midway side & saw Cascade Springs...it's recouped from that horrible fire a few years ago & looked like something out of a fairytale, a staircase of flowing mountain water interspersed with redwood pathways & every color of green that you could imagine...yellow too....& the backside of the grand Timpanogas...she looked like a giant tall Xmas cookie or cake, (in a tall wide shape), that got hit with powdered sugar ...& one more thing the sky was azure blue...except for the white streaks & lines left by the air engines...(thanks heavens UDOT will most likely will have no reason to ever "gut" American Fork Canyon with her green tall tree tunnels that make you feel like you're in the magic forest..!) ..now what I really need to do is post a photo or two of this site but I haven't figured out how to do that ...anybody got any good pictures of this view to post?? (I know Karen & Hye Soo do...) Well for now just close your eyes & draw upon your greatest creative tool....your imagination...breath the cool air & take a look at what I saw today...keep your eyes closed for a full minute & a half..then say a quiet thankyou to the great creator for his work....remember the air is crisp & chilly like a fresh cold apple...sue-who
