Autumnal days


Although it is officially winter it really only seems as if Autumn has arrived with its cool, foggy days. Up at the cottage it always comes earlier than in the city and we do enjoy our warm drinks by the fire. This photo was hard to resist with the lovely curling steam rising from our mugs of lemon and ginger tea.


The colours are vibrant and we gathered up these fallen leaves for spreading on the garden and composting, spending time talking with the owners of the house this beautiful liquid amber stands outside of.

I do enjoy slowing down a little during winter - hibernation has a certain appeal.

I love seeing your autumn colors.

Where I live (Midwest, USA), we are experiencing our first very hot days.

Hi Brenda, it's lovely to hear from you again, thanks for dropping in.

Over recent weeks I have been interested to read of the changes you are noticing personally in costs etc, in the US.

It is happening here too ... we live in challenging but quite exciting times especially as it may lead us to a greener world (or closer to heaven!)

I also meant to add ...
that I think I prefer the colours and chill of autumn compared to the heat of summer but each season has its beauty and aren't we blessed to have four wonderful seasons each year. Kathy
