The early morning air
Has a chilly hint of cold
Whispering in my ear
A sweet reminder that
Autumn is almost here
Summer is moving past
Her flowers withered by the sun
We need the autumn respite
Before the winter comes

Autumn is my favourite season too, Brian. I don’t understand why though, but I even prefer it to the promise of spring.

Monkeys would be filled with admiration at some of that!

It’s the opposing thumbs wot does it, Denise. But monkeys have the edge – their feet are like hands too!

Actually I wonder which is why man is where he is today – because of his brain or his opposing thumbs? But it must be his brain because monkeys have twice as many opposing thumbs! 😀

Oh, yes Ruth, I will. I think some of the most beautiful flowers are to be seen on fruit trees. Such a pity they are so short-lived, although the fruit isn’t to be sneezed at!

Autumn is the buffer for the winter. Beautiful, yet foreboding.

That’s true, Jake. But foreboding only where there are severe winters…

That is true, it’s kind of hard to “suffer” through winter when the temps are still in the 60 to 70 degree f range.

Some of us more so than others, I think at times. 😉
