First day of Autumn.....

"Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting and autumn a mosaic of them all."- Stanley Horowitz



This morning their is a distinct chill in the air.... and yesterday I noticed the first fall of leaves, it seemed to have happened overnight. Soon I will be able to kick my way through a pile of leaves and feel like a child again (don't think I have ever really grown up to be honest!!)



Had some really lovely walks with Basil yesterday, the sun was shinning and we had the world to ourselves (or so it seemed)

The birds were singing and their was a gentle breeze and it felt good to be alive. I noticed the fruits of autumn as I walked. The hedgerows seem to have an abundance of fruit and berries.....





Plenty of fruit and berries for wildlife... and us!! We enjoyed an apple and blackberry pie yesterday with lashings of cream... Mmmmmmmm
And of course the squirrels mustn't be left out......



Can just about see a green acorn ready to rippen for the squirrels.... nature is truly wonderful it seems think of everone!!
The sun has just broken through now and its warming up a little, our first autumn day.....

Greetings and welcome to blogland!

yesterday was such a wonderful day and today is here so far...Our hedgerows are also full of berries and blessings.....but strangely not many blackberries round us? Not quite sure why?

Welcome to Blogland and warm hugs.

Thank you so much for the nice comment you left me. It made me smile in a day of feeling awful. I will put up a recipe or two over the following week for you. Keep blogging and putting up beautiful pictures.
