Fall
Yesterday we helped a butterfly off the pavement, where it was sitting for the longest while, slowly fanning its wings. Hannah was worried someone might step on it, so I got it to climb onto a stick by carefully nudging the stick right up to the butterfly's legs, which it then grabbed ahold of, allowing us to place it at the base of the pistache tree on the corner. I thought that was an appropriate resting spot since the butterfly's wings were bright orange-red, a teeny ground-level echo of the tree's brilliant fall canopy.
There are all sorts of other lovely things lying on the ground at this time of the year. Over by the bridge I found a pod which had dried into a perfect corkscrew, causing Hannah to do a happy little skip when I showed it to her.
