& *little peoples* love of all that autumn brings...
perhaps when you are that much closer to the ground...you see autumn from the bottom up as it were...
for our little audrey...& her cousins from sandy sunny sydney...autumn ONLY seems to mean leaves & the constant gathering of them....CONSTANT...
we have huge bowls of amazingly beautiful leaves...
&
piles of smooth round conckers all over the place in this big ol'house...
so i am too am in love with the changing of the trees from the bottom up...
autumn marks the beginning of the journey towards winter...i am going to try to see it in the way only a child can...with wonder & excitement...enthusiasm & a hot little hand of fallen leaves & conkers...
there is nothing like being reminded to embrace life by your own child...
so i am giving this *friday flower*...
our autumnal-gathered-with-love-and-great-enthusiasm-fallen-leaves-&-conker-pile to my beautiful mum...
because if she was here with miss.audrey she would be falling in love with autumn in our english village...
& she would come up with some wonderful sculptural creation to build with audrey as the night crept in...
& she would thank audrey for reminding her that even though the summer is sydney is approaching, she would rather be gathering autumn goodies with her...
& audrey would know that & love her back....
so until that time soon...we will continue to gather conkers & fallen leaves & to embrace autumn from the *bottom up* with our very loved sydney cousins...
so...mum bring your gloves...your wellies...& your creativity....audrey has some baskets of goodies & a pile of autumn love for you!
...link up below if you want to share a *virtual flower* or pile of conkers with someone special...
&
...pop over to lovely Laura's to link up too...
have a wonderful weekend lovely people...
i have mucho cousin tales to share next week...
there is something wonderfully special about the connection between cousins...
our 2 1/2 years in the english countryside has not changed a thing...
their 2 1/2 years on the sandy coast of australia, sans us, has not changed a thing...
travel is an incredible gift...
