Autumn Broke Today

I turned today and Autumn broke
Before my eyes on fields of gold.
Whispered low-key on each haystack
And curled itself through bonfire smoke.
Summer's colour starts unfolding
In cool mists, pales and loses track.

I felt today that Autumn showed
Its hold. Summer, palling, flutters
To the ground. Cracking sound of twigs
Snapping from each tree, as slowly
East wind saps them, then it mutters
Warnings round the wires of riggings.

I sensed today, as Autumn fell
Into hedgerow's berry harvest
Time now to measure well ripe juice,
As chance of losing who can tell?
Nights wrapped in chill will do their best
To blight it, - with Autumn as excuse.

Have a wonderful thankful Thursday, everyone!

Good morning Trisham! Cold here, in the 20s last night. Nice and sunny this morning.

Planning on planting 3 pine trees before the ground freezes. The house we moved to is near a diciduous forest but there are no pines anywhere. I miss the many spruce and pines I planted at the old house, so I called diggers hotline and am good to go on planting a trio of pines in the front yard. Pines grow faster than spruce so I’ll get those.

I have many birds here from the forest. They are happy at my feeders. Want to get a few more feeders for the blue jays I see flying in the woods.

Saw 4 eagles last weekend at my parents farm which is 15 miles from here. A rare sight. Usually seeing one is a treat, 4 was a blessing!
