fall memories

When I was a child, I would collect colorful fall leaves and then my mom would help me iron them between two pieces of wax paper, and I would tape the finished product to my window to catch the light.
As a mother myself, I did the same thing with my two daughters. And when they left for college, I sent them our local leaves pressed in wax paper and ready for hanging.
Today, the way the light came through these leaves brought all those memories flooding back!
