This autumn has been quite different from
that of last year. Now we’ve actually had some rain, which means we’ve finally managed
to find some winter mushrooms here. They were abundant in our former neighbourhood and
we’ve missed rambling in the forest picking them.
Once again, it’s proven rather fortunate we
moved to the southwestern corner of the country. Despite the occasional rain
and cloudy skies, the weather has been much better here than most everywhere
else. We even had two lovely sunny October weekends enabling the venturesome Sunday
sailors to continue the season.
The not-that-patient ones have stored their
boats for winter weeks ago. It’s starting to be about time also for the rest as the nights have grown
frosty. The ground turned white last night for the first time this fall.
Thank you for your SUPERB photos and language!
ReplyDeleteYou are most welcome. I've been away from the blogosphere quite a lot these past months but I'm hoping to return to more regular posting to get through the dark season.
DeleteA delightful post. Beautiful scenes from a country I would much like to visit. No frosts here yet. B x
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked our yellows. The snow we had last night is expected to last another day or two. My unfavourite time of the year, the slush and sleet season, is at hand.
DeleteLovely. x K
ReplyDeleteI never was an autumn person until I retired. There is so much you simply do not have the time to appreciate during the working years.
DeleteThose yellow leaves are stunning especially against the blue sky. Most of the boats here have been stored for the winter too! Sarah x
ReplyDeleteIt's turned below freezing point now, at least for a while, but we haven't lost all the autumn foliage yet.
