In this captivating episode of Reading with Your Kids, host Jed Doherty sits down with sisters Beth and Kathleen Rooney to discuss their debut picture book, "Leaf Town Forever" - a remarkable story born from the unexpected creativity of children during the COVID-19 pandemic. The book originated from a fascinating real-life scenario at a Montessori school, where children, required to stay socially distanced, invented an entire civilization using autumn leaves. This ingenious play became the inspiration for a unique picture book that captures the resilience and imagination of children during challenging times. What makes "Leaf Town Forever" truly special is its innovative storytelling approach. The Rooney sisters chose to write the entire book in haiku, a poetic form consisting of just 17 syllables. This creative decision not only condensed their story but also beautifully captured the seasonal transitions experienced by the children in their narrative. The collaborative process between Beth, a photojournalist, and Kathleen, an established author, was remarkably smooth. They described their writing method as a playful "volley" reminiscent of their high school badminton days, with each sister contributing and refining the text. Their journey wasn't without challenges. Working with illustrator Betsy Bowen required patience, with the entire process from manuscript to published book taking nearly two years. However, the result was a stunning visual representation of their story that brought tears to their eyes. "Leaf Town Forever" is more than just a children's book - it's a testament to human creativity, adaptability, and the power of imaginative play. It shows how children can transform limitations into opportunities for connection and storytelling. Parents and educators will find this book not just entertaining, but also a powerful conversation starter about community, resilience, and finding joy in unexpected places. We also have a listen back to a conversation we had with Janice Milusich about her book Be Careful What Your Hear.  Click here to visit our website – www.ReadingWithYourKids.com Follow Us On Social Media Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/readingwithyourkids Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/readingwithyourkids/ X - https://x.com/jedliemagic LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/reading-with-your-kids-podcast/ Please consider leaving a review of this episode and the podcast on whatever app you are listening on, it really helps!

Caroline Leafs bok Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess presenterer en metode for mentalt vedlikehold som kan sees som en strukturert prosess for selvutvikling. Hun fremmer tre trinn: identifisere giftige tanker, bearbeide disse (dekonstruere dem), og rekonseptualisere dem for å skape ny mening. Dette kan knyttes til et psykologisk selvutviklingsarbeid hvor man arbeider med tankemønstre og følelser for å oppnå en bedre mental helse. Men for å virkelig forstå dybden i denne prosessen, kan vi dra paralleller til Jacques Derridas filosofi om dekonstruksjon, selv om dette ikke nødvendigvis var hans intensjon med teorien.Caroline Leaf forteller oss at helse handler om å spise sundt, holde seg fysisk aktiv, få nok søvn og ha gode relasjoner, men en femte helsesøyle handler om mentalt vedlikehold, noe som er vel så viktig som ernæring og fysiologi. Hun kan fortelle oss at blant den største driver i veldig mange sykdomsbilder er giftig stress. Denne typen helseskadelig stress er noe som blant annet oppstår når vi kjemper imot negativ tenking, angst eller depressiv ruminering. For å avhjelpe dette, må vi rydde opp i giftige tanker, og her har Leaf en veldig tydelig og strukturert modell. Velkommen til en episode som skal handle om tanke konstruksjoner og hvordan de påvirker oss. Du må passe på hva du spiser så kroppen din ikke tar skade av for mye junk food, men du må også passe på hva slags tankekonstruksjoner du mater hjernen din med. Det er like viktig å ikke mate hjernen sin med ultra-prosesserte eller giftige tanker, som det er å legge seg i rimelig tid og basere kostholdet på gode råvarer.

Send us a textWhen the leaves start changing color, something magical happens to our environment and our spirits. We dive into the fascinating science behind autumn's spectacular color show, revealing Mother Nature's specific recipe for vibrant fall foliage: a wet summer, dry fall, sunny days, and cool nights. The process responsible for this transformation—abscision—is when trees essentially seal off their leaves as winter approaches, creating those breathtaking displays that define the season.We explore the remarkable diversity of leaves around the world, from the Rafia palm's astonishing 80-foot leaves to tiny specimens barely visible to the naked eye. These natural "solar panels" do far more than just look pretty—they're essential components of our ecosystem and have woven themselves into human culture in countless ways. From the symbolic four-leaf clover to the fig leaf's historical significance, leaves have shaped our language, traditions, and even family expressions.Our conversation takes delightful turns through culinary applications (are you team mint-in-mojito or do you prefer your drinks leaf-free?), the fascinating biology of fig trees, and how certain plants like aloe vera have served humanity for generations. We share personal highlights of the season—open windows, perfect temperatures, and the therapeutic crunch of leaves underfoot—while contemplating how these seemingly simple structures mark time's passage in such profound ways.Whether you're a nature enthusiast or simply someone who appreciates the changing seasons, this episode celebrates the underappreciated wonder of leaves and why they deserve our attention beyond their fleeting autumn display. Listen in, then take a moment to appreciate these remarkable structures that transform our world every year.Mike Haggerty Buick GMCRight on the corner, right on the price!

This week on the Veg Grower Podcast we're embracing the arrival of autumn. I've been reflecting on the kitchen garden, making plans for the allotment through the colder months, and sharing why leaf mould is one of the most valuable resources we can collect at this time of year. Kitchen Garden Update The kitchen garden is still full of food. Kale, turnips, radicchio, beetroot, parsnips, leeks, spinach, cabbages, cauliflowers, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts are all growing strongly — not to mention the fruit scattered throughout the space. That said, this week I've felt a little overwhelmed. The grass had grown long, crops were finishing, and I wasn't sure where to begin. Clearing away spent summer crops was my first job. Beans and peas were cut at ground level, leaving the roots in place to enrich the soil. This not only feeds the soil with nitrogen but also helps improve its structure. I've been topping beds with leftover compost from seed trays and pots, giving the soil a boost of organic matter. It's a reminder that soil health underpins everything — and why no-dig gardening and constant mulching are at the heart of my approach. Pumpkins have also started coming in, with my first small but perfectly ripe one harvested this week. Properly stored, squashes and pumpkins will last us right through winter, making them one of the most rewarding crops to grow. Root crops like beetroot, carrots, and turnips are also ready, while parsnips will be left until after the first frost for extra sweetness. Allotment Update Down on the allotment, colder mornings are a reminder that autumn is well and truly here. Much of my work has focused on weeding and sowing green manures in empty spaces to protect and enrich the soil over winter. Leeks and parsnips have finally put on a growth spurt, thanks to recent rainfall. It's highlighted the importance of organic matter in the soil, something I plan to improve with more compost and possibly manure in the months ahead. An unexpected globe artichoke appeared in an empty bed — self-seeded from somewhere — which I've potted up rather than waste. Meanwhile, a beefsteak tomato plant has produced some enormous fruits that stubbornly refuse to ripen. I've stripped away leaves to encourage ripening, but if the cold comes first, they'll be picked and ripened indoors with a banana. Perhaps most importantly, I've sat down and written a full winter to-do list for the allotment: compost bins, greenhouse repairs, shed tidying, and more. I've added it all into Notion, creating a timeline to keep me on track. Having that plan in place makes the workload feel manageable and ensures I'm ready for spring. Recipe of the Week Chef Scott returns with something special: Spiced Poached Quince with Vanilla Ice Cream. Quinces may not be a common sight in shops, but they're worth growing or seeking out. Slowly poached with cinnamon, star anise, and lemon, they develop a deep red colour and an incredible fragrance. Served hot with vanilla ice cream, it's a true autumn treat. You'll find the full recipe on the blog. In the Podding Shed – Leaf Mould With leaves now falling fast, it's the perfect time to collect them. Leaf mould may not be high in nutrients, but it's a fantastic soil conditioner, seed-sowing medium, and mulch. I collect mine from recreation fields where leaves would otherwise be wasted, never from woodlands or roadsides. At the allotment I use homemade bins from wood and chicken wire to store and rot down the leaves. Over time they break down into a crumbly, woodland-like compost. Leaf mould can be used to mulch fruit trees, protect rhubarb crowns, or improve soil structure. It reduces significantly in volume as it rots, so I also use spare Dalek bins to handle the surplus until it can be transferred. It's a free, abundant resource that really shouldn't be wasted — and one that makes a big difference to the garden.

Autumn reveals a side of Texas many travelers never experience. While summer heat dominates conversations about the Lone Star State, fall transforms Texas into a wonderland of outdoor adventures, cultural experiences, and natural beauty.Our journey begins in East Texas, where maples explode with vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows that rival New England's famous foliage. The Sabine River region offers perfect fall temperatures for camping, hiking, and outdoor recreation without summer's oppressive heat. Moving westward, we explore the Texas Hill Country Wine Trail stretching from Fredericksburg to Johnson City. Fall means harvest festivals, grape stomps, and perfect weather for tasting award-winning reds and whites while enjoying weekend live music performances at numerous wineries.For more adventurous travelers, we venture to Big Bend Country, where fall transforms an otherwise scorching landscape into a comfortable destination for hiking, river trips, and world-class stargazing. The region's International Dark Sky designation makes it perfect for witnessing the Milky Way in breathtaking clarity. Our final destination takes us to mysterious Caddo Lake on the Texas-Louisiana border, where ancient bald cypress trees draped with Spanish moss create an almost mystical autumn atmosphere perfect for kayaking and boat tours.We also examine the fascinating evolution of racing helmet technology, from simple leather caps to today's carbon fiber and Kevlar marvels, and review the 2025 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid, which combines impressive fuel economy with genuine three-row comfort thanks to its extended dimensions.Whether you're planning your next road trip or simply dreaming of autumn adventures, join us to discover why fall might be the perfect season to explore Texas.

It doesn't feel like fall yet but there are glimpses of the coming season at the Morton Arboretum. Two Freeman maples are starting to turn red at the edge of Meadow Lake in the west suburban garden.

William Leaf is a former D1 college gopher from the University of Minnesota turned swing coach and instructor.  Not only does he coach Jordan, but also players like Carson Herron who worked his way up the ranks and played at the John Deere and 3M in 2025. Will is one of my favorite individuals to talk to about the swing.  He speaks in a way that helps people of all skill levels comprehend the changes they need to make both technically and mentally.  Enjoy!

Everett enjoys school but isn't enjoying the extra responsibility that Grade 4 brings. When he learns that he has homework to do over the weekend, he cannot believe it. Ev, as he is usually called, can't get his work done fast enough, and when he finds a shortcut, he realizes how lucky he is until he gets to school on Monday and hears the other students talking about their homework, and he realizes maybe he shouldn't have taken the shortcut.  ✔️ Perfect for ages 4+ Sleep Tight!, Sheryl & Clark ❤️

The €1.5 billion joint venture includes major investment in battery production at Zaragoza, positioning Leapmotor for broader European expansion under Stellantis's international partnership. SK ON OPENS SOLID-STATE BATTERY PILOT PLANT SK On has opened a Daejeon, South Korea pilot facility focused on sulphide- and polymer-oxide solid-state battery development, aiming for commercialization of sulphide-based cells in 2029—one year ahead of schedule. Backed by Solid Power's tech, the facility will produce prototype batteries featuring advanced lithium-metal and silicon anodes with targets up to 1,000 Wh/l energy density. RIVIAN BREAKS GROUND ON GEORGIA PLANT Rivian has started building a $5 billion EV plant in Georgia, aiming for 200,000 vehicles yearly by 2028, unaffected by the discontinuation of federal EV tax credits. The facility will support scale and lower costs for new models like the R2, following Tesla's profitability playbook as Rivian moves into higher-volume, lower-priced vehicles. RENAULT 4 EV GETS A CARGO VAN VARIANT Renault's new electric 4 is now offered as a cargo van with a load capacity of 1,045 litres and up to 254 miles of range, priced in France from €29,300 before VAT. The conversion is managed in-house by Renault at its Maubeuge plant, with multiple battery and power options for commercial customers. UK GEELY EX5 CUSTOMERS GET FREE ANDERSEN A3 HOME CHARGER INSTALLED Geely will provide buyers of the all-electric EX5 a free Andersen A3 home charger, featuring unique design and smart charging integration, for orders placed before October 23, 2025. The charger, which includes full installation and a seven-year warranty, is compatible with solar power and smart charging tariffs. GAC AION V APPROVED FOR AUSTRALIA Chinese automaker GAC's Aion V electric SUV has been cleared for sale in Australia, featuring a 75 kWh LFP battery for up to 374 miles of range and fast charging from 30% to 80% in 16 minutes. Pricing will start below $45,000 AUD, with deliveries and detailed specs announced closer to launch. TESLA MELBOURNE FSD TEST WAS NOT APPROVED Victorian authorities confirmed Tesla was not authorized to test "Full Self-Driving" on Melbourne's public roads after a viral video showed a Model Y performing an autonomous hook turn in the city center. Tesla says FSD is driver-supervised and not yet legal for autonomous use in Australia, where regulatory permits are required for such trials. TESLA ADDS 7‑YEAR WARRANTY TO SOME PARTS Tesla's 2026 model year vehicles in the US and Canada now carry a “High-Priced Propulsion-Related Part Warranty,” giving seven years' coverage for key electrical components like the power conversion system and high-voltage parts. This new warranty is separate from existing battery and drive unit terms, aimed at lowering costly repair risk for buyers. NHTSA OPENS PROBE INTO 2021 TESLA MODEL Y DOORS U.S. safety regulators have launched a probe into 174,000 Model Y vehicles from 2021 after reports the electronic door handles could fail, potentially trapping children inside. Preliminary findings suggest the issue is linked to low-voltage battery problems, and several parents broke windows to access their children during incidents. SUZUKI LAUNCHES E VITARA EV IN JAPAN IN JANUARY Suzuki's first battery-electric car, the e Vitara SUV, will go on sale in Japan in January 2026, produced in India for export and offering 267 miles per charge at around $27,000. It represents Suzuki's major push into global EVs with significant investments and ambitions for high-volume exports. ID. TOUAREG COULD BE THE FIRST SSP MODEL Volkswagen may transform its Touareg into the first fully electric SSP platform model, with combustion production ending in 2026 and SSP assembly possibly starting in Bratislava by 2029. The SSP platform promises cost savings and fast charging, with VW's wider rollout across brands and models to follow. VOLKSWAGEN DROPS FLUSH DOOR HANDLES FOR FUNCTION Volkswagen will move away from flush-mounted door handles in favor of traditional grab handles in response to customer frustration, as outlined by the brand's CEO at IAA Mobility. The company's next-gen ID. models will prioritize practicality to appeal to mainstream buyers over early adopters. NISSAN CUTS NEW LEAF OUTPUT OVER BATTERY SHORTAGE Nissan has halved production plans for its new Leaf due to shortfalls in battery supply, with revised output at the Tochigi plant being several thousand lower per month. The cutback delays a key launch for Nissan, which is betting on the new Leaf to reinvigorate its lagging EV business.
