You hike a path of yellow petals. What you see is a palette of gold, yellow and red hues.  What you hear is the “quakees” in symphony with the spruce and pine forest and what you smell is the medley.  It is Oz.  It is Aspen, CO in September.  It is the one year anniversary of my blog (I thank my readers) and my birthday (I set new goals).  My blessings to all.
