How can one Embroider Autumn ?

I look out from the window , or stand beneath some trees, We don`t have a REAL deffinite Autumn , but we have some Light Autumn. I can embroider dried leaves , but most trees are still Fully dressed in Green , I can embroider the Fruits of this time of year,,,, but i really would love to embroider , the changing climate , an hour of Summery HEAT , with some cool droplets of cool,,,, The sun , seeming to work overtime in cooking us all , and the clouds trying to cover the heat and look as if they will give us some Much needed Rain.. And than i know , As many many Birds make their flight over Isreal , from Europe that becomes Witntery , to Africa that stays warmer ,, the migrating birds Are the real Symbols here of Both Autum and spring ,,,, Good flight , Noisy funny wonderful looking birds ,,, mirjam

One of the parts of autumn here I would like to embroider is the sight for sun streaming through bright yellow leaves against a bright blue sky. Another is the days when farmers are burning off their fields--a very sheer taupe mist over grey might catch that. Another are the big vees of Canada geese flying over, a sky full of geometry.

There's a tree here that always turns red, even in dry years. The color is so intense it almost hurts your eyes. I would love to capture that color and feel in stitches.

Dawne - What a great phrase! Thank you for that image!

Don't we all have those kind of phrases? In our house, those Pillsbury Toaster Scrambles are called "pop up toasters" for some reason. We also have pooper dogs lol!

We have earwigs (q-tips); cabbage eno (cappucino=coffee); Peter O'Toole (a special gardening tool with three spikes on one side and a chopper on the other); Mother (the Mother of all carving knives) and the devil's instrument (DS' high-pitched recorder).

When I was at the University in a third floor office, their flyway was literally right past my window, just skimming the roof. Now if only someone could figure out how to embroider the great honking noise.

The geese around here are beginning their winter migration, huge flocks of them (especially Canada geese) taking to the air and circling before heading off for their winter habitat; what a noise they make!

My nephew's daughter (5) came up with a good one recently, "Rocks are very ouchfull."

Me? I have toad-stabbers here at work. Scissors with very long, straight blades (is that what the cutting part is called?). I have no idea why I gave them that name and they have never been used for that purpose; it just seemed appropriate, somehow!

Just another name for puppy dogs. Of course, it's mostly used when out in the yard. . .

A simple one for us - we have Labradors and they can act kind of dorky until about the age of 6 - so we call them Labradorks.
