I pick one grapevine leaf when I pop on the terrace in the morning and inspect the babies. This vine joined our collection late this summer, but grew like mad, had to be clipped, and produces this mad foliage that warms my heart and reminds me it's autumn. One of our greatest personal goals is to enjoy the seasons, which starts with being able to notice them. The search of seasonal observation has improved greatly since we occupied the terrace four months ago.



I pick the leaves for my foliage collection, which mostly resides in my old university marketing bible. It was a bitter exam, where after a string of straight 10s, some with thrilled comments from the teacher and envious glares from colleagues, I mastered a 6. I had to take it again in the autumn, mainly for my pride, I guess. Needless to say the book has hardly been touched since. It makes perfect sense that over ten years later it's nothing but a press for autumn leaves.
