The Turning Of The Seasons

[poliphilo]

Weatherwise it was rather a splendid summer- with a final run of golden days at the beginning of September- but I think we can consider it done with now. The temperature has fallen dramatically, we've been having rain and lively winds and the leaves are coming off the trees. The official beginning of autumn- the equinox- is still four days off, but that's a technicality. For months now I've been sleeping without covers, or at most a sheet covering my feet, but last night I had the duvet pulled right up.
