Autumn is here

Gardening today

Such a lot of fallen leaves

M & E fixed the garden

before the winter sleep

So foggy like a real 

Autumn gloomy day

♥

Dragons exist ....

  E. doesn't have nightmares so often

Sometimes I hear him

mumbling in the middle of the night

but he never tells about scary dreams

He doesn't fear dragons or monsters

but he is afraid of ghosts and darkness

For this reason he doen't want to go upstairs

(where we have bedrooms) 
alone

He falls asleep with small star-shaped turned on lights 

hanging on the shelf opposite his bed

that we turn off as soon as he falls asleep

and when he wakes up in the night

he can turn them on

and go on sleeping

with their reassuring light

 

Lately he sometimes wakes up

in the middle of the night

and asks if he can join us

in the "big bed"

Not because of nightmares or ghosts

but just in

search of hugs

♥

Something is changing

Slowly the mountains are changing colour

and soon they will burn in the marvellous

autumn warm nuances

I really like

the changing of the seasons

Summer ends, and Autumn comes,

and he who would have it otherwise

would have high tide always

and a full moon every night.

A little artist

E. really likes to draw

even if lately Playstation games are getting

more important than
P E N C I L S

We give him a fixed time to play

otherwise he would spend all day in front of the TV

So when PS time is over
he comes back to his pencils turning them into
skating boys, caterpillars, firemen trucks,
tractors, cars and animals

These first weeks at school went pretty well

He is doing fine and it seems he enjoys
He just complained once telling me

he didn't want to go to school anymore

because his teacher told me 

he should use pencil instead of using pen to write

P.s.

In these pictures E. is wearing school uniform

which is compulsory in his school

Over and over

H O M E

is

the place or person
you want to return

OVER and OVER

The heart of autumn

Such a dark morning today

It looked like daylight

was not going to light the valley

Rain and grey

Summer images are just a memories far away
All we can hear now is the noise of
rain drops on the roof
and leaves falling from the trees

And in addition

today it is

Monday

♥

Just give me a

In E.'s bedroom there is this cross-stitch panel

I did long time ago before E. was born

thinking of a baby to be born one day

The nursery rhyme more or less says

I want a day without night

I want a sea without storm

I want a bread always fresh

On the cypress tree a peach flower

If I'm asking

 too much

don't give

anything

Just give a

happy and smiling face

♥

Every morming

when I wake him up

this is the best

Good morning:

his smiling & happy

face

♥
