Huge leaves

We have yet

another neighbour ;-)

who has trees with HUGE leaves,
starting to cover the grass in our garden.

While the little leaves are sticky and
need a hefty sweeping,
these huge ones are easily raked together
but they are numerous and make a... HUGE pile of course.
Our kids had lots of fun

gathering the leaves and 

making natural envelopes
out of them when they were little.
Have you ever done that?
These huge leaves are perfect for it.


From the comments on my last posts,
I got the idea most of you thought I was complaining
but that's not at all the case.
Falling leaves are part of autumn and this time of year.
And I, as you must have noticed, love Autumn.


I do admit I'd love to see some sun and a blue sky
pretty soon now.
These past two weeks have been ever so grey and dark around here.
The evenings have something of an early Christmassy winter feel ....

I've been trying to conquer the grey and dark weather
by making it cosy inside in the evening....
Don't you just love the cosiness inside the house
that's so typical for wintertime?


I wish you all a lot of cosiness for the upcoming winter
and when days start to turn dark and grey,
just light a candle, it will lift your mood, believe me.



Bye,

Marian
