Falling for Origami
I think autumn is my favorite time of year. The crisp air, the smell of fires in the fireplace, the leaves, all of it makes me happy.
I try to capture some of the season for my Thanksgiving, but here in California, the leaves rarely turn red, they just gray. I checked with the Master Gardeners Program in Santa Clara County and learned that sugar maple trees are the only ones that put on those famous displays back east, and those don’t grow here.
Luckily, I found the Yasutomo website, which features easy instructions for folding an origami maple leaf. I plan to make a pile of them for my holiday table.
