I have been taken to task by fellow bloggers for appearing to want summer gone, then perhaps being to premature in talking about autumn. Here in the Northern hemisphere Autumn is still in theory some way away……or is it. We have been getting ‘tell tale’ signs for a week or so now. With the drop in temperatures and morning mist it does start to look as if the turn is on the way.
It could be that the hot dry spring and summer have over stimulated growth and now the leaves are just dry and tired.
We will have to wait and see….one thing is for sure we can do nothing to change the seasonal cycle.
And on top of all that the weather forecasters reckon, that here in middle England, there is a strong possibility of frost tomorrow when we wake….and it is not yet September!
