September.

Yesterday, I spent the morning in my garden knocking the last of the pears off the pear tree with the help of a hockey stick. I also picked the last of the blueberries and strawberries off the plants. The tomatoes are nearly all ripe too and there's a couple of aubergines hanging off our plant which need picking soon. The weather was overcast like it has been these past few days, but there was that distinctly cooler breeze coming in which is unique to September. You can tell that autumn is drifting in. Finally.

Autumn is my favourite season. September feels more like the start of the year than January because everyone is going back to school, collage or University. And people who are not getting ready for school or University are stretching off the summer and getting ready for winter anyway.
Everybody is getting ready for something. Cosy nights in with hot chocolate and water bottles are just a few weeks round the corner. And its getting dark earlier but autumn sunsets are the most colourful. Have you  noticed?
