We are having a pretty early Fall here in Colorado. When Kelsea and I were away for Labor Day, the aspens were already starting to turn. It’s been so dry that colors may be elusive altogether. MKL and I head for Cottonwood next weekend, and we hope to catch what may be the tail end of that golden part of autumn. Until then, here are lingering wildflowers caressing a mountain view.

Quote of the day: “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” – Steve Jobs
