Autumn leaves now are falling
Red and yellow and brown
Autumn leaves now are falling
See them tumbling down
That is the favorite song around our Happy Home these days!
We are celebrating God’s unbeLEAFable creativity when it comes to the magical way He paints the leaves in October.
But, as y’all know, since we live in Florida, we have to do a lot of crafts to help us get a glimpse of these lovely leaves.
So here are a few ideas that the Happy Buddy and I are looking to do together this month…
