Corner View is a weekly appointment - each Wednesday - created by Jane and currently curated by Francesca, where bloggers from all corners of the world share their view on a pre-arranged theme. If you'd like to join in, please leave a link to your Corner View post in the comments at www.fuoriborgo.com, and be sure to visit other participants, too.
Every Autumn when the leaves change color, my mother sends me a leaf from her yard as I live in a hot climate without the beautiful seasonal changes. As luck would have it, my "annual leaf" arrived this Saturday - just in time for this week's corner view.
Happy corner viewing!
This is so sweet! I'll keep it in mind for when my kids are older - not that there will be any real need, though: they won't be allowed to move away! :)
ReplyDeleteI love that idea Heather . . . it's just beautiful. I too will file it away for later :-)
ReplyDeleteThat is so nice. As much as I dislike winter I don't think I would like to miss autumn's colours.
ReplyDeleteMy mother would send me leaves in her letters every fall. Ihave a little cookbook that still has a little maple leaf in it. Momm passed away in July and I miss her so much, but when I saw your post it was as if she was letting me know she is all around me. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteSorry for your loss. I will share my mom (and her leaves) with you.
DeleteWhat a lovely tradition! So sweet of your Mum to send a leaf from her corner to yours. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a heart warming post. My baby gives me leaves as flowers.
ReplyDeletewhat a nice tradition ... and the leaf is very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThis is a nice touch - I can not imagine what it is without the fall. Do you miss him?
ReplyDeleteI like to visit him on holiday, but I don't miss him on a day to day basis as I like wearing shorts in October and November. Having said that though, I have a burning desire to move to Edinburgh at the moment... can't wear shorts there much in the summer!
Deletewhat a great tradition! I surely would miss the changing of seasons too. Though I suppose there are many good things about living in a hot climat.
ReplyDeletethat is such a great idea, what a lovely mom you have ! i so miss the changing of the leaves. there are only a couple of trees that do it here and only for such a short time .... it's just not the same ! :)
ReplyDeleteSo sweet. The writing caused a bit of a lump in my throat & now tears as I miss those wonderful notes my mom would jot down and send me. I still have many of them. Lovely tradition.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely gesture to remind you to the change of seasons! Wonderful tradition. And a very sweet way of your mom to tell you that she's thinking of you all the time... :o)
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine living without the change of seasons, even if I love warm climate and sometimes long for warmth in winter...but I also love those colourful trees in autumn, first snow in winter and the spring awakening after months of grey!
That is super sweet, your mom sounds like a very romantic lady. My mom too would send me packages with little notes on everything... as in "socks for after bath" :) Really pretty tradition!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! What a wonderful idea that your mother sends you an autumn leaf! I'm in the heat and really miss the changing seasons!
ReplyDeleteHeather, thank you so much for offering to help with the charity crochet project. So lovely of you. Are you starting to learn? Let me know if you need some tips!
Thank you for the offer! I am learning and I am sure that I will have lots of questions - especially about making the charity ribbons.
Deletewhat a lucky coincidence! your words remind me of the remark of a friend in florida, who doesn't live the change of seasons like some of us do. oh, dear, sweet! i would miss the turn into fall of the seasons...
ReplyDeleteyour mum is clever and very attentive.

How sweet of her :-) Do you keep them all, like in a scrap book or something?
ReplyDeleteNo, but I think I will start as that is a great idea! I sill have last year's, so I will start with that one. Thanks for the idea!
DeleteReally sweet! I should have my mother do that for me!
