Autumn Equinox

ImageImageWe celebrated the fall equinox on our weekly hike to Cherokee Park with our playgroup. We gathered nature treasures along the way and made a little sculpture (okay a pile) with them, sang a few songs, voiced gratitude for something, and played a game of duck-duck-goose. We also said goodbye to summer with one last yummy strawberry snack and welcomed fall with apple slices.

Fall has always been my favorite season, but this year especially, I've been so looking forward to it. I think it's likely the nesting that I'm feeling getting ready for our little one's arrival, but also the hankering for crafting that I seem to find time to do more of in the cooler months. I'm looking forward to pumpkins, butternut squash soup, Thanksgiving with family, and the smell of dry leaves.

Welcome Fall!
