Leaves tinged by autumn
Still glued to tree after storm
Stubborn to the last

Dear Sarah,
I love autumn, definitely my favorite season. However, the fact that winter follows makes me sigh. Lovely haiku.
Shalom,
Rochelle

Dear Rochelle,
I love autumn, too. And, yes, I’m with you about winter, although only when it’s shivery, grey, damp weather. I adore it when it’s blue-skied and frosty, and then I’m bursting with energy and enthusiasm. The only problem is that where I live it’s seldom the latter in winter, so most of the time I have to work hard to override a deflated and unenthusiastic mood D:
I’m glad you loved the haiku 🙂
All best wishes,
Sarah

I don’t like extreme temps and live in a part of the world that tends to extremes. Go figure. I hope you received my email. I’m never quite sure about gmail these days.
Sh’vuah Tov, which means A Good Week

Yes thanks, I did receive it 🙂 You have a good week, too, and hopefully I’ll manage a FF story this week, if Time shines upon me kindly. I might even manage FB, but no promises.

It’s good that those leaves are hanging around a little longer 🙂

I think we’re a bit behind with Autumn down on the south coast. My begonias and geraniums are still in bloom and producing new flowers! No doubt Jack Frost will put an end to that, when he puts in his first appearance!

I love the idea of them being glued. I wish someone would come and glue ours on. Every day there’s bag loads to be lifted. Some beautiful colours among them though xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

It’s the apples and not the leaves where I live — a patio and lawn covered most days with new windfalls that are too bruised and pecked by magpies and jackdaws to eat. My dog likes munching on them though! xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

At least your dog gets them. That is too bad though. It is maple leaves here. Every damn day at this time xxxxxx
