Chapter 104 The Autumn Awakening
- October brought cold mornings and the first signs of seasonal transition, which sparked Emma's curiosity about transformation processes. Her preschool class had begun studying leaves, seeds, and migration patterns, which piqued her scientific curiosity while also allowing for creative expression and quantitative observation.
- "Emma has been collecting specimens from our yard every morning," Grace said, watching her daughter meticulously arrange fallen leaves based on colour gradients and decay phases. "She's documenting the changes in her own nature journal with drawings and descriptions."
- The autumn experiment has progressed from simple leaf gathering to a thorough investigation of seasonal adaptation strategies. Emma questioned why some trees keep their foliage while others shed completely, sparking family talks about plant biology and survival tactics.
