I remember the first time I showed my oldest grandchild a leaf I picked off a tree. He was fascinated by it. There is so much beauty in nature.

@Belle - you are so right, I still love to collect leaves and make autumn arrangements at home.

Love all these quotes about leaves today. So appropriate for this time of the year. As my post tomorrow is about leaves, I was actually looking at quotes about leaves this morning! Great minds think alike. I didn't use any, so I'm not repeating any of yours!

@Diane - if you wish to use any please feel free. I am glad you enjoyed them!

@Sush - would love to have a fire now, but happy with my tea. Strangely enough the whole body is under tension, the muscles and the bones. But hey, I'll be better soon :)

Motto

"A story is not like a road to follow … it's more like a house. You go inside and stay there for a while, wandering back and forth and settling where you like and discovering how the room and corridors relate to each other, how the world outside is altered by being viewed from these windows. And you, the visitor, the reader, are altered as well by being in this enclosed space, whether it is ample and easy or full of crooked turns, or sparsely or opulently furnished. You can go back again and again, and the house, the story, always contains more than you saw the last time. It also has a sturdy sense of itself of being built out of its own necessity, not just to shelter or beguile you."
