The warm colors of autumn are reason enough to love the season. But fond memories of time with loved ones makes it even better.
When I was in elementary school, I was assigned a project that became more than a memory for later years, but a permanant feeling of warmth on the crisp, cool days.
My leaf collection wasn't just another grade in school...it was quality time with my mom. We walked down our street, around the block, and through the leaves in the park. I was amazed at how many leaves my mom could identify. It was one of those "my parents know everything" moments and I was so proud of my leaf collection. Not only because it was beautiful, but because it was a souvenir of my peaceful time with my amazing mom.

Beautiful. I can't help but imagine your mom reading this (which I know she does cuz she tells me so) and feeling warm, perhaps shedding a tear of gratitude for the time she took to go on a walk with her child who was full of wonder at her knowledge and love. Nice tribute.
