Autumn

 “Fall colors are funny. They’re so bright and intense and beautiful. It’s like nature is trying to fill you up with color, to saturate you so you can stockpile it before winter turns everything muted and dreary.”
Siobhan Vivian, Same Difference

After the long, scorching heatwave of early March, Autumn hit with a blast during the last week. The cooler weather is much welcomed. The landscape is slowing turning green again and the showers of rain have settled the dust and revived the garden. Today is particularly horrible with a gusty North wind but more often the early Autumn days are sunny and warm and give me good reason to love this time of year.

It is a fun season to do art activities with the little ones. Lachie and I spent an afternoon recently doing leaf rubbings with crayons and watercolour paints and other art projects inspired by the Autumn leaves that are beginning to fall.

 

Using art as a learning activity for children is one of my favourite things to do. I don't know who had the most fun, Lachie or me.

Cheers,
Lynda
