This morning I was thinking about a little fall craft project we did when we were kids.
We used to hunt for the best examples of autumn leaves and iron them between sheets of waxed paper and an old linen tea towel. The wax helped to preserve the leaves while keeping them soft and pliable.
It was a simple project that helped keep us busy while painlessly learning about the different kinds of trees in our little corner of the world.

My gr'daughter collects a few colorful leaves when she walks our dog, to bring back to Grammy....I put them on my tables to enjoy till they turn brown ☺This morning I was thinking about a little fall craft project we did when we were kids.

Bonnie, we planted 2 sugar maple trees here in Texas on our land and they turn the same beautiful colors they did up north in Ohio where we were both born. I'll take some pictures of them in late November and post here on the forum.

Glycerine preserves them for years.
Got a nice photo here... and this was my mother's favorite Autumn poem:
October
Oh, suns and skies and clouds of June,
And flowers of June together,
Ye cannot rival for one hour
October’s bright blue weather.
When loud the bumblebee makes haste,
Belated, thriftless, vagrant,
And goldenrod is dying fast,
And lanes with grapes are fragrant.
When gentians roll their fringes tight
To save them for the morning,
And chestnuts fall from satin burrs,
Without a word of warning.
When comrades seek sweet country haunts
By twos and twos together,
And count like misers, hour by hour,
October’s bright blue weather.
Oh, suns and skies and flowers of June,
Count all your boasts together,
Love loveth best of all the year
October’s bright blue weather.
