What I love about Autumn

Do you love Autumn? I do :)

I love to make Autumn decoration, love when all the leafs are changing to wonderful colors. We alway sample chestnuts, acorns and hazelnuts and put them with straw in a little basket.

It's a wonderful time of the year :)

Chlorophyll and the green color

(information from wikipedia)

A green leaf is green because of the presence of a pigment known as chlorophyll. When they are abundant in the leaf's cells, as they are during the growing season, the chlorophylls' green color dominates and masks out the colors of any other pigments that may be present in the leaf. Thus the leaves of summer are characteristically green.
In this leaf, the veins are still green while the other tissue is turning red.

Chlorophyll has a vital function: that of capturing solar rays and utilizing the resulting energy in the manufacture of the plant's food-simple sugars which are produced from water and carbon dioxide. These sugars are the basis of the plant's nourishment-the sole source of the carbohydrates needed for growth and development. In their food-manufacturing process, the chlorophylls themselves break down and thus are being continually "used up." During the growing season, however, the plant replenishes the chlorophyll so that the supply remains high and the leaves stay green.

In late summer, the veins that carry fluids into and out of the leaf are gradually closed off as a layer of special cork cells forms at the base of each leaf. As this cork layer develops, water and mineral intake into the leaf is reduced, slowly at first, and then more rapidly. It is during this time that the chlorophyll begins to decrease.

Often the veins will still be green after the tissues between them have almost completely changed color.

Vintage Halloween Collectibles: Identification & Price Guide

Product Description

Halloween was once considered an adult practice referred to as "going a-souling," but it was eventually taken up by children who would visit the houses in their neighborhood and be given ale, food, and money. The tradition of trick-or-treating can be traced back to the early 1900s, but the decorations of all things scary began much before that. Some time around the late 1800s pumpkins, witches, black cats, and ghouls began appearing in parades, adorning city streets, and decorating homes.

Mark Ledenbach shares his collection of vintage Halloween collectibles for the first time in this new identification and price guide. Nearly 1,250 vintage collectibles are vividly displayed in full-color, with the majority of them having never before been published in previous works profiling Halloween memorabilia. Each masterfully photographed item includes manufacturing country, company, and dates; specific measurements to the nearest 1/4 inch; and reproduction alerts, item iterations, and more.

* Nearly 1,250 collectibles displayed in full-color * Features captions with manufacturing data for each item displayed * Includes different marks and packaging used by companies, such as Beistle, Dennison, Chein, US Metal Toy, T. Cohn, and Kirchhof
