hello autumn


how nice that you arrived so promptly.
we woke this morning to crisp air and blue sky.
and we knew, yes we knew that the seasons they were a changing.
that we'd soon have socks on our feet and soup on the stove.
the leaves will change, the clocks will change
and our world will be coloured in amber and ochre and rust.
good colours we think.
we like watching leaves fall from autumn trees.

    And here we have so much snow that we have run out of places to put it!

    Enjoy the beautiful weather!

  6. What a beautiful post!

    My favourite thing about autumn is the sudden temperature drop the moment the sun falls over the horizon. Everything feels crisp and clean. Drinking tea is so much nicer in autumn.
