I also have a fascination with leaves, especially autumn leaves. Living in a subtropical region, we don't experience the changing of the colours of leaves in autumn, except for maple leaves.
Those grapes look so luscious, as with the nuts. Pecan nuts do well here, I still regret not planting a nut tree!
It's so true just how we don't appreciate it when there's an abundance of anything yet long for it when there's none left!
Your dad's home looks magical, what a privilege it must be going there @erikah <3
