    Are sloes very similar looking to damsons, just a bit more round?

    I thought last week it felt autumnal, a sign for me which has nothing ti do with gardening, is if I leave washing on the line too long it gets damp again!!



    Definitely getting dark too early, I noticed that last week too when I was gardening and I couldn't see at 9pm and had to come in image



    I have a feeling we are going to have a bad winter, no scientific reason or old wives tale.......just a feeling image

    If your right OL, its the naughty step for you image

    I don't want a bad winter, I quite liked last years, wasn't too cold.

    An autumnal poem anyone? image

    Yes please Fishy image



    I still think we will have an Indian summer too (or at least I hope)



    I don't want a bad winter Lily, so no naughty step, I just have a feeling image Scroggin, I still do a lot of driving for work, cover most of the country so I really don't want a bad winter. Nothing worse than the M62 and the M74 when it's snowing and I travel on both image



    Right now I'm more worried about an ash cloud than the weather to be honest (crying and worried face as I have no smilies)

    Slowly fades the Summer sun

    Swiftly does the twilight come.

    Day by day the air's more chilled -

    but harvest means my freezer's filled!

     

    Mellow fruitfulness?  Season of mist?

    Oh, no, not yet or I'll be very upset if we don't have an Indian summer image

    Sorry OL - got distracted. I was saying earlier I wanted a cold winter but not if it means you're in any danger image  Anyway,this is a very recent poem...only about a week old I think?

     

    Summer's End

     

    Summer's heaving bounty,

    plentiful gorged on sagging boughs,

    drifts,beneath diluted suns,

    to September's 

    murmuring of mists,

    where weary bees,

    shadow chilled,

    mourn the fled season.
