Our Autumn Nature Table

It happened totally by accident that we created our first nature table. We have this beautiful half round table in our dinning room. The table has always been one of my favorite pieces, and I have been looking for something to bring more attention to it than it often gets. Above it hangs our wedding document and on it usually sits our Welcoming Spirit (a figurine from the Willow Tree line). With having company the last few days the centerpiece from the dinning room table was often relocated to make space for whatever meal we were having at the time. One night for dinner we moved the centerpiece over to the table and bam! Our first nature table was born.

With how lovely this "accidental" one turned out, and with how often the girls bring in rocks, acorns, flowers, leaves and other bits of nature, we have decided to create a nature table for each season. Our winter nature table has already been started with some holly branches (extras that did not fit around our advent wreath) evergreen boughs and pine cones. As we prepare for the Winter Solstice and Christmas holidays we look forward to adding more to our nature table as the winter arrives and continues on.

More Fall Fun

0 comments Posted by org at 12:13 PM

Dave decided to tackle the last of the leaves today. And the moment he put the leaf blower on the girls began shrieking with joy: "Mama! He's making a big leaf pile! Can we play in the leaves? Please?" Coats and hats were put back on (we had just come in from a fair that was being held in town) and out we went.

And even though the leaves took a little longer than he had planned, it was still lovely to spend the time outside (something that we never, ever pass up the chance to do). With the last batch of leaves dumped in the compost bin we really are ready for the winter that is ahead of us. Soon enough there will be snow being cleared and played in, and wonderful winter memories being made. But until then, we'll bask in the glory that is the fall and the incredible life that we get to live and experience together each and ever day! What a gift! It is something that I am eternally thankful for.

Pumpkins and Flowers and Catapults! Oh My!

0 comments Posted by org at 5:13 PM

Dave had to work today, so it meant the girls and I were left to find adventure on our own. With it being a most perfect fall day, finding adventure was super easy!

First up, Drumlin Farm. The girls were so into the painting of these pumpkins I was not sure we'd make it to the other places on our list of fun fall events!

Painting pumpkins is very exhausting!

Next up: Land's Sake. They were having a fall festival, and since it was on our way home from Drumlin, we stopped by.

The cider press was a big hit, with young and old alike.

And then we discovered the catapult.

Flinging fruit and veggies is super fun!

We decided we wanted one in our own yard!

No good fall festival is complete without face painting. A kitty for Em,

And a bunny for Miss Grace!

We had a truly lovely day and were so sad that David was not with us to enjoy all the fun. I have a feeling though, if he had been, he'd be outside right now figuring out how to put a catapult in our yard! Composting has never been so fun!

Happy October, friends!
