Week 1
A herbarium: a leaf from every tree
Family Season
Our woods. Our paths. Our September.
1. Theme of the month
September
Forest Month
How it went
What in the woods turned out not to be what we thought?
— The herbarium ran out at the seventh leaf: maple and oak we knew at once, about the rest we argued. — We went for mushrooms in the rain, filled half a basket and got soaked through — everyone happy.
