Falling Dots 🍃 

Since today the leaves are falling in loads, I’m reposting a poem I wrote one fall day when I was going to graduate school:

Specks of yellow — fall.

The wind levered them down,

Or sprung them loose,

Or let them go.

Like little cares — falling– golden in their time —

Locust leaves that

Symbolizes hope and freedom.

This birch tree trifecta’s shapes excited me yesterday–the flowing lines and shades of color. My Dad’s health has stabilized for now–and he is working on learning to walk again. Thank you all for your prayers, kind word, and support.
I had a wonderful run (that helped relieve the stress from what we are going through with my Dad) yesterday and saw these natural designs:

Plant Fireworks!

Plants make me smile! Even plants in the city do too: Yesterday in the city I saw a biker with a bouquet of flowers sticking out of his backpack as he wheeled home. Those blooms being biked along a busy city street made me laugh.

This afternoon my 22-month old nephew and I were hugging the maple tree out back! I just touched the tree, then started hugging it and showed my nephew how, and he did it several times. (He loves hugging his dog, so why not the tree too?!?)

How can we help kids enjoy nature from the time they start walking:
