Gavin, you have taught me so much about Mother Earth's offspring throughout our life together, and i am sure in the years to come i will continue to learn oodles more. But even more than that is that you have changed my perspective. There was a time when i did not notice the beauty of fall. All i saw was the end of summer and i would become sad but through our 12 autumns together you have gently shown me the wonder of autumn and now i look forward to its crisp morning, its sun-kissed jeweled colors and the beautiful leaves that don our grass. I look forward to this year's bonfire nights wrapped in a blanket with you as we watch the gorgeous crystal clear stars over head and the dancing flames that illuminate the leaves as they fall. Thank you for helping me to unfold my perspective and unlocking the love in my heart for this beautiful season called autumn. ❤️

What an informative post, Gavin! A couple of episodes back, I did one on Reinventing Education, that imagined cultural exchanges with month-long sabbaticals. When I read about your ecosystem there in Ontario, I think "Let the party begin!" I want to come learn about all your forest's secret and bring you here, to California, where you could likely teach me about mine ;-)

My daughter Cassandra, the Perfumer's Apprentice (name of her local supplier) has always had a passion for Pine-Sol. She keeps trying to recreate it with her potions of fir and spruce. I think she decided finally what's missing is the soap!

And the color of my front door is Japanese Maple but I didn't realize how gorgeous the Keys are!
