After a long goodbye, summer has left and autumn is undeniably here. I welcome the colourful leaves, but the shorter days have me missing the light-filled evenings of June and July.

That’s why the adventure this time is to do what Frederick the field mouse does in Leo Lionni’s charming picture book and gather supplies of sunshine, colour and words for the dark months. I’m creating a summer jar and you’re invited to join!

I also reference the iconic film Practical Magic and its beautiful theme music: Amas Veritas by Alan Silvestri.

If you’d like to share your summer jars (or autumn jars! or even spring jars?), I’d love to see them! Just tag athousandtinylights.podcast on Instagram. And of course I’d love a comment on Substack, where this podcast is published. You can find the podcast here: A Thousand Tiny Lights

And my writing is under Postcards from the Forest on Substack as well.

I hope you enjoy the episode!

Love,

Anna
