Falling Leaves

I love the soft presence of leaves in decor and design, and even in cooking.

Fall leaves have the most unique scent, one that cannot be duplicated. The ground gets a bit heavy, anticipating the arrival of future snows and the leaves offer shelter and preservation to the delicate growth now in hibernation.

Add a little leaf to your decorating options to bring a taste of autumn into your home. Above, Maple Leaf Wall Decor from Home and Garden Products.com

I always make leaves for my pumpkin pies…but nothing like this artistic wonder! Had to save this picture just for inspiration for a great cooking and recipes site called The Heritage Cook.

Have a wonderful Fall weekend!
