Squash!



Winter squash ready for storage.  A promise to brighten a grey day with earthy aroma in our kitchen and the sweetness of brown sugar at our table.

Indian Creek Winery



The fullness of grapes hanging in the vineyards, the long hours of harvest and the prayer that frost will hold off for another night belie the moments of fun.  Tammy and Mike McClure collect must as guests stomp grapes in the barrels.

Idaho Botanical Garden


Scarecrows, golden light, corn shocks, hay bales and a nip in the air.  Fall is slipping in and following old traditions that mark the end of summer's heavy work, we celebrate with final harvests, fall festivals, and football.

Idaho City




Idaho City is full of history and curiosities, but this amalgamation of "junque" and antiques is by far the best collection of fun and recent memories.  Its whimsy and fantasy are child-like and happy.... another of Idaho's many moods.
