If you had her address you could mail leaves to her. We are a homeschooling family and years ago a group of us online mailed nature items to each other. We live in the deep south and rarely have fall color, so we asked for fall leaves. We got tons and they were wonderful! Not only great colors, but trees we don't even have here.
We sent "fresh" cotton to folks in other parts of the US with the seeds and such in it.
It was a neat exchange.
