We woke this morning to the tradition of looking for the children's "gnomies" who had gone missing. The children ran to the garden searching in the sunflower house, the tomatoes, strawberries... and finally found them sitting on their chairs in their forest fort with a small chocolate pumpkin as a fall treat...
Squeals of excitement and joy erupted from them! They squeezed their dolls tight and thanked them genuinely, which squeezed my heart, knowing that this magic is so real to them.
Seeing the imagination within your child, and knowing how evanescent it is, reminds me of a butterfly on a flower.
It is something that is beyond words because that moment is so fleeting, but when you have witnessed it your life is more beautiful because of it.
May your Autumn be blessed with beauty and magic!
