(i know its not fall yet but just a thought that poped and i couldnt leave it) Ode to Fellow Leaf Stompers The crinkly, crackly sound of parchment leaves being stomped, crushed, and crumbled is a happy sound. It is a sound unique to Autumn. Only during the fall can vibrant colors be made to pop and snap, and make rosy-cheeked leaf stompers smile. Those who produce Autumn's chorus are truly happy in fall.

Ah, a return to childhood. Perhaps I'll have to try it again come fall. Thanks for the smile. Susan The whole of the Universe resides within each individual heart. |

My best friend and I used to write on these parchment leaves with what we called "fountain pens", now a thing of the past! My friend died a few years afterward. Somewhere I still have the leaf notes after forty years. Pretty special parchment! Thanks for bringing this about. Sadelite |
