living childhood memories...

...in red leaves

lookit what i found today

a red leaf - from a little tree filled with - red and yellow leaves transporting me - back to younger days - childhood days - when the big maples in our yard - would turn wonderful colors in - the autumn days and i would kick - those leaves all over said yard - driving my daddy mad with the nuisance of it - such fun - and those colors - if you didn't grow up in the mid-west - you couldn't understand the glory of - what those colors looked like - up close and personal - living in the rockies - i get to experience the aspens changing - their color to crisp golden yellow - every fall; there is nothing like it - but i always miss those reds

so seeing this red leaf - today brought a quiet joy - a sense of delight to my heart - it quickened my pulse - made me do that happy skippy dance - as the sunlight began to shine - upon it and then it became...

a

happy day.....
