on the ground

i was stunned, of course it's the time of year when the leafs fall in all colors and layer the ground. i love it and am full of joy walking through that sea of red leafs, noticing that my shoes match!
it felt like today was as cold as it hasn't been this fall. so far there still was no frost, hard to believe but it's true, and there is no forecast either. tomorrow in our garden, there will be more leaf raking and jumping into piles of them!

as we spend more time indoors again, the puzzles have been taken out frequently and cheerfully thea is solving them. mostly on her own, though sometimes her older siblings are quick to help. our "office" space has once more become the center of life!
