[Hey, it's Mary! Less on drugs than last time, too! Today she is proudly holding up a big yellow leaf.]

Did anybody see what's happening outside? I know what it is! I've seen a painting of it before! It's plum blossoms! Or maybe cherry blossoms...

They're really pretty, huh? But you can't eat them.

[OR... CAN YOU... She looks at the leaf and gives it a tentative lick.]

...Nope. Definitely not for eating.

[SUPER DISAPPOINTED.]

Wow, so fall really IS here, isn't it? Leaves are already piling up outside. Especially in the school courtyard.

I love this season. All the colors are so pretty to look at. It's pretty inspirational! Every fall I like to make a fair amount of landscapes. The area here is especially pretty, so I think that's an idea I might jump on quickly.

If anyone from my class would like to, we could take this opportunity next time! Plus, it's good to do work outside before it gets too cold, hm? Fall leaves will soon be at their prime and then they'll all be gone before too long after all.

...Ah, and that brings me to something else. Call me sentimental, but also what I like to do every fall is gather leaves and have a little campfire...Perhaps that could be something we could do for fun? I could supply potatoes and marshmallows but everyone could bring whatever they would like!

I'm just in the mood to do something lighthearted.
