Picking up the Signals

A couple of things we've noticed between last week and today:
  • There were lots more people on the bus to work this morning, (and wearing coats),
  • The heaters were on in the bus,
  • From the morning bus ride, I noticed that some of the trees had lost all their leaves over the weekend,
  • The forest around us is not the overwhelming green anymore, but rather beginning to look a little more golden in patches,
  • The leaves in our garden are beginning to turn  from the greens to red and orange.


I don't think we are anywhere near the winter that I am half excited / half terrified about, but today I definitely felt the signalling in of autumn, and am definitely looking forward to the colours that will emerge in this most beautiful season!

    1. It is coming quickly - the temperature is dropping too but it's still bearable for us.

      Will post pics as autumn progresses.

    1. Lynette,

      From what I have heard some cities there are still as wintry as they were when I posted this- in some places worse!

      Hoping the sun is out for you!

  4. I have to admit to Craving Summer at the moment! The weather here has been dreadful, though today the sun was up! And I was like a cat basking in it. Aai, how cold do your Winters get, do you know?

    1. I ALWAYS crave summer - I believe you have had the most unspringy weather with even snow again? So bizarre!

      I am not sure how cold - I have heard that at its coldest (not sure how long it lasts for) about -10.

      I get cold just thinking about that!
