Autumn Leaves

 

The clocks have gone back, it is now dark when I leave for work and dark when I get home. I think that’s why I use garden spotlights, because otherwise I would never see the garden Monday to Friday. I have been quite depressed about the onset of Autumn and Winter – the loss of the light evenings and warmth. But . . . . .  now the clocks have changed and it is definitely Autumn / Winter, somehow I feel happier. I can accept the cold and dark, appreciate the misty, frosty days . . . . enjoy the colours of Autumn and the, soon to be, skeletons of trees. I’m also looking forward to the garden being largely clear of its summer lushness and being able to get more distant views. I think . . . . .  I might . . . . like Autumn / Winter!

Here’s a quote:

“Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.”
Albert Camus

The lawn is now getting covered in leaves and the garden is looking very autumnal:

The once tough-looking Hosta ‘Frances Williams’ is looking like a very old person – a bit wrinkled and wizened but very colourful and full of character:

Hosta la Vista!

So . . . for some reason I feel very positive and I’m going to scuff my way through the fallen leaves to the pub tonight! . . . . It is KMS!
