That's a beautiful word, Anet. I hadn't heard it before. Mmm, I love maples.
Funny the things you remember from childhood.....those things that you were really mentally present for. Many of mine are playing with whirligigs and watching as they momentarily seemed to defy gravity and twirl. Thanks for that.
I've never heard of the word before today, but it sure fits your photo. I look forward to seeing what you post this week. ;)
Hey Anet... Pretty soon you're going to see Noah whirling around the yard ... oh maybe he does that already!!!
In Halifax, Nova Scotia, they have a summer art/craft fair called "The Aestival Festival"... and I always wondered what it meant and with your nudging I looked it up and the whole thing made sense!!! thanks!!
Ruth, Aestival... it's a good word! I love maples too!

Hey Sharon, I loved playing with maple seeds. I think you commented before I put up the pic. of Noah with one on his nose. Did you ever do that, peel them a bit and stick them to your nose? funny!

Hi Gwen, Noah is always whirling around in the yard, the house, all over!
I love that, "The Aestival Festival" A festival that happens in the summer!
I remember peeling them but I don't think we ever stuck them anywhere! :) Great picture, thanks Noah!
We used to make dandelions stem curly-q's though.
I HEART the maple nose...too silly! We didn't have maple trees where I lived~~growing up in California and Washington...well for that matter there are no maple trees here in Alaska either...ha:)
great "aestival" post.
Thanks Sharon! Well if you come across some maple seeds you should stick one on your nose!
