This is why we live here!
And this is what we hope to share with YOU!

Summertime often provides glowing sunsets.
![Orange, yellow and grey clouds float above the chiminea which stands at the edge of our back yard plaza, in front of our lounging furniture.](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/7fd4b2_9ecd8e79dffb427b97f975acd2c8a4d3~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_980,h_450,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/7fd4b2_9ecd8e79dffb427b97f975acd2c8a4d3~mv2.jpg)
![Blue, purple and pink clouds hover over the distance. Origins B&B lies to the right and a three-gabbion water fountain flows at the right.](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/7fd4b2_6280388828644cb18644334b708047e2~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_980,h_551,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/7fd4b2_6280388828644cb18644334b708047e2~mv2.jpg)
After a long, warm summer, a cold front finally brought relief mid-October. It brought little rain, but suddenly MUCH cooler temperatures.
![The morning sun lights grass and trees, while dark storm clouds threaten the distance.](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/7fd4b2_e67c045c8ca44dafafeb1c06db6ed960~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_980,h_551,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/7fd4b2_e67c045c8ca44dafafeb1c06db6ed960~mv2.jpg)
This storm system dusted the Black Hills with snow. Winter is is our sights!
![A light dusting of snow is evident on the distant mountain, which early morning shadows cover the nearby gravel labyrinth.](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/7fd4b2_e41b47c936b349a1ace9b5446ae67d53~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_980,h_450,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/7fd4b2_e41b47c936b349a1ace9b5446ae67d53~mv2.jpg)
