joyful fall

(these two beauties are sitting on our yellow bench outside, smiling at us;))

Happy first day of fall. Even though the change is not as obvious here in California, I love to know that it is here. Every season has its magic and the change that comes with each new season is so very welcome. The change of pace and awareness I love.

With my class I have gone now on morning walks, noticed little changes, felt the wind on our faces, and counted colors around us.

Yesterday the class made homemade apple sauce. The smell of cinnamon and sweet apples filled our classroom. For the rest of the week we will continue to celebrate, discover and learn about our new friend, the fall season.

I am at home today nursing my little sick man. He came down with the croup again. But he is happily on my lap, singing and joyfully sipping his tea. Catching a cold and then relaxing with a cup of warm tea, sweetened with Agave might just be part of our fall celebration. ;(

May you all find comfort and warmth at heart in this new season.
