Seasons Of Mists

Summer Days have not yet took their leave.

The most perfect of Autumnal days today, blue skies and sunshine galore.
Our rainfall has been little to none for an entire month, many of the trees have already lost their brown leaves prematurely.
The air conditioner continues to hum....


 
"Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For Summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells."

~ John Keats

I always think of John Keats as autumn begins. Yellow mellow 😊

The mums are so beautiful. It is suppose to be fall but I am still not ready. It has finally stopped raining. We are cold today with a northern wind. I have a few leaves falling.

This is my favorite season ~ the last of the zinnias are blooming, along with the morning glories. This is the best time to hike through the leaves, as they have their own special scent!
