The droplets hanging from the trees are shiny dripping beads of ice and the small stone trough where the birds drink, is a thick frozen sheet.
There is a strange sepia glow to the sky enhancing a feeling of being steeped in cold tea.
The kettle has boiled, time to make a move.

Lovely description of the arrival of Autumn or could it be Winter

I bet that squirrel's burying some nuts, he knows what lies ahead. Is it too soon to be longing for spring?
ReplyDeleteHe looks like he's found a tasty treat, we have 4 in the garden today all foraging about for a snack or two, good job DH filled the squirrel feeder with their nuts!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day keeping toasty warm in your lovely studio.
It was lovely to wake up to some gorgeous frosty patterns yesterday. Cup of coffee for me please Kate. X
ReplyDeleteI had to look twice - a squirrel!
ReplyDeleteAnd underneath our kitchen table there is a real nip to the air...not sure where it is coming from...need to make patio door curtains. x
ReplyDeleteSounds descriptive put like that, although I know otherwise. Squirrels are cute even when grey. Hope you have a lovely relaxing week. Take care & huggles.
ReplyDeleteIt is only about 7 weeks until the shortest day and in my book that means spring will be on its way! Certainly a bit cooler and a bigger frost. On a walk today I espied some begonias, all soggy and lifeless after last night's frost. As long as the rain stays away I can accept this changing season!
ReplyDeleteLovely description of your frost garden. Love the squirrel tucked away under the leaves. I must say I found Threads through my Life's comments about 7 weeks till the shortest day most inspiring. I love that feeling of 'we are on our way to spring' that comes on that date, however dark and cold it is.xx
