Autumn Nature Tables

Autumn is a favorite time for us when it comes to creating nature tables.  Going on nature hunts for rose hips, fallen leaves, oak balls, dried herbs, and acorns is part of the fun! 



We read books about the harvest, gnomes, and the changing of the seasons as the root children begin their descent into the Earth.















We celebrate Michaelmas and bring out pumpkins in anticipation of Halloween.














Rainbow summer colors, green leaves, and ocean waves disappear as hues of orange, gold, eggplant and brown appear.  A time to celebrate the cooler weather and a time of rest and contemplation.

Happy Autumn!

Autumn is...

Setting up our Autumn display -- pumpkins and corn stalks from our old garden.  Tunisian crocheting a bow for the stalks.  (Look!  One of the baby kittens has come to play.).






















Spinning up our new Autumn Equinox yarn!

Celebrating Michaelmas at Davis Waldorf School (pics of kids not on blog for privacy. Rick's Grade 6 class made the dragon with flour puffing out!). 






















Crocheting berets.












Singing!
Golden light is turning gray
Mists begin to rule the day
Bare the trees their branches lift
Clouds of dead leaves earthward drift....
