leaves? make me leave?
leaves ... october ... yes:
Having time on my hands I will bore everybody now with my homestory of leaves. Every year for 1st Oktober I adorne my home after a thorough cleaning with \"harvest/halloweenish\" bricabrac. Jellybean teddy and clay pumpkins, bats and ghosts and witches, simply everything I have been given over the years. Make paper kites on threads hanging from the ceiling to go along. \"pumpesel\" (is german meaning the brown velvet candybar-like flowers of swampgrass that turns fluffy if cut too late) in a big floor vase. And cut out leaves from orange, red and yellow paper threaded on a string to make a wreath along kitchen- and bathromdoor. It\'s hard work on 30th of September sometimes until after midnight, but its all worth it when waking on 1st Oktober and seeing home all in new style splendour.
It\'s meant to enhance the beauty of autumn to postpone the usual winter depression and works for me.
Important notice: above is not a normal german tradition nor custom, its just my personal spleen.

You should post some pictures Helga. I would like to see your decorations.
From the sounds of it, it sounds very tranquill.
..well... I checked it all over... the correct high speech german word for \"pumpesel\" is \"Rohrkolben\" and in botanical speech in latin it is \"typha\" ... but nowhere I checked could I get a translation in english for it.Orginal gepostet von mickc22
...amazing
So it\'s a \"reed growing in your backyard swamp/brook blooming in autumn in a velvet brown round bar on a long stick\"
English speakers: how do you call it ?
