Making the Most of Autumn

Autumn has crept up upon us. We would love if families can help us gather items from nature for our upcoming focus.

Leaves
Pine Cones
Acorns
Berries
Twigs
etc...

Thank you!

Those leaves were so beautiful--thanks, Allie and fam! Andrea, we'll be bringing a box of goodies from the woods tomorrow. You'll have final approval, though...not sure if hole-y limestone rocks and pods and beautyberries are okay....

Oops, make that "some time this week" as far as when we'll bring our treasure-box. I want Jalie to help gather the items, and our evenings are a bit crowded w/errands and guests, etc. the next couple of days...

We gathered a bunch of acorns on a walk today - we'll see what else we can find around the neighborhood.

...Umm... so today I was in Garden Ridge, shopping for an event at work. As I took in the enormous, far-reaching display of plastic-y fall "ornaments" (that I'm sure many Texans have never seen the real version of - I'm just sayin', folks), I thought of Andrea's request. Alas, there will be no synthetic berries, pumpkins, or fall leaves to cross TL's doorstep. Allie and I will also try to venture out to a trail somewhere sometime soon and gather up the real (and cheaper) fall ornaments. Here's to Mother Nature in her Fall glory! (And yes, those leaves were gorgeous, weren't they?! Sigh. I miss the seasons up north...)
