Welcome Autumn

Welcome autumn!
Dripping wetness from the trees,
leaves just about holding onto greenness
with the expectation of a
glorious blaze of colour yet to come.

Surprising sunny days,
reminiscent of summer,
but a chill in the air
evoking

log fires,
thick jumpers,
and comfort food
hearty soups and sticky toffee pudding.

Darkening evenings and sparkling clear nights
and the faint promise of
cosy winter evenings tucked up in a quilt,
Bonfire night
and Christmas.
Wondering if it will snow.
