The Creation of a Thousand Forests….

…is in one acorn.

Ahh… fall on the East Coast!
It is the time of year in Maryland when trees are literally raining leaves.
But according to this from NPR, leaves aren’t exactly falling…
But, rather, the trees are shoving the leaves off the limbs.
In Cute Husband’s absence, I have further
fallen into senselessness.
We picked up the new Sibley Guide to Trees few weeks back and ever since this book entered the house, I have become freakishly obsessed with collecting leaves and trying to ID them.
Oh, and also listing them.
I’m pretty much raking the front yard onto the dining room table, where I have my ever growing display of leaves in various stages of fade.
Yesterday, my leaf press arrived and now I can preserve them!
And, look at them some more!
And, look at them some more!
For those that I want to capture exactly as they existed when I found them, I scan them!
And, look at them some more!
Normal, right?
Right?
Sure, yes, I’m ok without Cute Hubby to entertain me…
