The year's last, loveliest smile

And autumn grows, autumn in everything.”

The equinox is today.

The Autumn/Winter Season has begun in earnest.

  1. It was a lovely day... I had my piano tuned. And I am prepared to sucede summer to fall... it was a lovely year. And autumn is so gentle this year. Like the world is about to take a delicious nap. Kizzes.

    1. After the searing summer we had in the UK, this transitional period into autumn proper is mainly pleasant and mild and very welcome... Jx

    1. I always hate autumn when it really kicks in (September is generally "late summer" here, and even October can be warm). To me, it's the Season of Death and Decay. I'm a Spring and summer girl, myself! Jx

  3. I do enjoy Autumn as it (usually) means I can go for a walk without getting hideous sunburn/roasted alive/drowned in sweat/covered in bug bites etc. etc. Plus, the garden still has enough going on, and the sea is still warm enough for a swim!

    1. With the grim weather today, I can guarantee I wouldn't be stripping off on a beach on the North Sea, tbh. Jx

    1. Oh, yes indeed. There's a lot worse to go through before that, however! Jx
