As I headed to work this morning the rain was torrential and there were rivers of water on the road and there was a distinct autumn feel to the air. I noticed on my short walk from the car park to my office building that the leaves on the trees now had slight autumnal hues whereas on Friday they were completely green. Some of the leaves had fluttered to the ground and I managed to enjoy the view despite the rain.
The back of my skirt got absolutely soaked as I made that short walk and when I arrived at my building I found that the office was freezing. Many people were still wearing their coats so I knew it must be bad. It was so cold my skirt didn’t dry out until around lunch time. Most unpleasant!
Although I am very fond of autumn I can’t help wondering what happened to summer? I seem to have blinked and missed it.
Yes, finally!
Hello autumn, goodbye summer!
It rained a lot yesterday and today in London too.
I am still wondering what summer…
It’s my favorite season of the year, Cherry, but I, too, wonder where summer went? To be honest, summer here in the Netherlands seems much more like autumn than summer, so that must mean I’m a very happy camper here, right?!
Yes most of our summer was rather autumnal too. There were one or two sunny days in-between the raindrops.
Sometimes I think that Spring jumps into Autumn….Yesterday was a long time since I wore my jeans again to work. Normally I stick with my Capri’s. My colleagues wonder though about my sanity. I just want to keep summer in my head as long as possible
Wonderful picture, I love the Autumn colours very much.
Sometimes you just have to give in and where warmer clothing. To be honest I did for most of the summer this year
Autumn is just starting Dahn ‘Ere in ‘Ampshire as well CherryPie, snag is there are winter temperatures and the garden thinks it is spring:)
I was very nippy yesterday I needed a thicker coat if only to wear inside the office
Oh how I do hate sitting in a wet skirt… For many reasons (not least that someone I know might notice me).
Your secret is safe with me
We did have about a week of summer. That was sufficient.
I missed my gardens this year, there was too much rain to enjoy them!
I would know nothing about sitting around in a damp skirt, but I would imagine the best cure would be to break into a vigorous Highland Fling!
(Between you and me – I don’t like it too hot, and this wee bit of rain has done wonders for my leeks.)
I don’t like it too hot either but it was a little to cold to be sitting around yesterday. I rather like to be inside and listen to the rain with a nice cup of tea
This picture says it all as to where we are in the year and weather, Cherie
The leaves seem to be turning quite quickly in the current weather!
As the damned football season is in full swing here comes autumn. Oh for the weather of the Olympics!
Yes that was a lovely week weather-wise. I should have gone away for the week then
You captured these at the perfect moment Cherie… beautiful fall colours….peter:)
Spring and autumn all in one . I love the colours of fall
Now, cheire, we had a couple of nice weeks! But autumn has arrived. Brrr.
Well there were a couple of days at the beginning of September and the Olympics seemed to be OK and there was that one week in May…
I have missed my garden visits and I feel cheated!!
