It must be something about the shortening day length, the changing color of leaves, or the cooler evenings. Something causes my harvesting and gathering instinct to kick into high gear at this time of year.

I never leave the house without stashing plastic garbage bags in my pocket and purse. This way I am always prepared for foraging as I walk to the grocery store or while waiting at the bus stop. You never know when you will find wonderful treasures perfect for floral design.

David doesn't share my enthusiasm for gathering. He refuses to carry his own bag when walking to the post office or grocery store, and I once caught him pretending that he didn’t know me when I was crawling around on my hands and knees collecting the most perfect sweet gum balls in front of the Portland Art Museum. At least he puts up with my idiosyncrasies, including the very expensive fine for collecting treasures along the freeway. The highway patrol feels that such activities are a traffic hazard!
