In the field of opportunity it was harvest time today! A brief period of dry weather this afternoon with sunshine and, most of all, without the cold easterly wind allowed me to mow the lawn. I wonder if that will be the last time in 2010?
The Hostas and other garden perennials are dying off now and the trees are starting to lose their leaves but the tropical / exotic plants are at their best. The bananas (Musa & Ensete) all look good as do the Colocasias, Cannas and various succulents, they could keep going and growing into November. However, winds from the North are expected to hit us in a few days and it looks like getting very cold.
On the subject of Autumn and falling leaves – I have written a poem (yes – really!). It is called ‘Falling Leaves’:
FALLING LEAVES
Falling, leaves a hole in the air
A place in the world where nobody’s there.
