Leslie used what she said was an OLD practice sheet. She cut an opening for the address which is an excellent idea. Trying to cut an opening in an already existing envelope would be tricky. By making your own envelopes - it's super easy to make an opening and then adhere paper to flip side. It's a brilliant idea. She's calling this her ABCs of Autumn -or- Autumnal ABCs. By the time we are reading this will it feel like autumn? So far, it looks like autumn - but feels like summer. Very hot. Still running air-conditioning.
Leslie added autumnal words - football, fall, gourds, hayride, kindness, leaves, maize, tricks, treats, raking. She included one of her blackout poems which is delightful - and should inspire us to give blackout poem writing a try. It's on my to-do list. Also on my to-do list - find all the lists and consolidate them. Good idea. Also an idea that is filed in the *maybe never* folder - which is still a place I enjoy exploring. Sometimes I pull an idea out and let it breathe fresh air and give it hope.
Can anyone tell that it is 5:30 PM - not a time of day that I ever write blog-blurbs. So, what's up?

Real time report. The nichos were finished on Monday. I switched to a different tree of life inspiration and instead of disguising that it is made out of scraps - we just let it be super scrappy - and we love it. There will be a more detailed post about it later.
There will be a photo of a departed person in each of the egg cartons - and some more photos (in egg cartons) on the trunk. I think I already schedule this picture in a future post. I better check on that.
