My youngest daughter was born in September in Utah, high up in the Rocky Mountains. The week following her birth, my little family went on a short hike up to see the Aspens changing colors. I distinctly remember my oldest daughter exclaiming “the leaves are dancing!” - it sure felt like they were! The Aspen forest had recently turned into a remarkable hue of gold leaves and the fall breeze was blowing the little golden leaves all around us. This scarf reminds me of the contrast of the vibrant gold leaves against the bluer than blue mountain sky!
