    It’s a beautiful morning ... I was out there as the sun rose, wandering in the garden while the coffee brewed ... its a louche and dishevelled beauty now ... a middle aged femme fatale, spilling over her décolletage and adorned with spidery lines and powdery patches ... the tiny pink and white cyclamen are appearing everywhere, even in the veg patch, scattered randomly like too much diamanté, and the colchicums’ Naked Boys are erupting through the fading leaves in the Wilderness. The espaliered pear is dripping with huge fruit and the squashes are glowing orange through the leaves. I love this season ‘of mists and mellow fruitfulness’ 8-

     :D   The big Arion rufus are mating on the dewy lawn.

    The odd yellow leaf on my fig tree and the hostas have tinges of yellow.
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    In Ireland we are told that each season lasts 3 months; spring begins in February (which is when the grass begins to grow), summer in May, autumn in August and winter in November...

    It still feels like summer, but it looks like autumn, and also it SOUNDS like autumn. I just love the sound of acorns falling down, rushing through the leaves and at the end occasionally hitting the roof of the neighbours' shed. The same with the chestnuts when they ripen and fall down. We don't have any chestnut trees nearby but I remember it from the previous house.
    And also I like the sound the migrating birds are making when flying south, in particular geese. We get a lot of those here. 
    Autumn is just wonderful, I love it.
