Re: You can tell the year is going on,

Ooh..I love scuffing through the leaves too ........ you feel the years roll away whilst doing it!

Re: You can tell the year is going on,

And me.
And if you go somewhere lovely like Westonbirt Arboretum after the frosts have coloured the maple etc leaves and made them fall it's extra-fantastic. It's lovely to see the piles of yellow, orange and red under the trees ... and so sad when the rain turns them to mush

Re: You can tell the year is going on,

We've been to Westonbirt a few times during Autumn, the trees show off a stunning display. I was in my element one year as we took our granddaughter who had to collect tinted leaves for a school project......... the day knocked years off me!

Re: You can tell the year is going on,

That is a sign that the year is going on Not been through the lights for years-last time I drove through and the car clutch snapped - swore I would never do it again-and I haven't.

Re: You can tell the year is going on,

I notice it's getting very chilly in the mornings.

Oh yes, . . there's a nip in the air, . as the American admiral said on 7th Dec 1941.

Re: You can tell the year is going on,

Groan !!!!!!! Love your sense of humor.....

Re: You can tell the year is going on,

I like looking at the leaves and shuffling thru them; draw the line at raking, however. I live on a tree-lined street and have a huge acer in the ront yard ....leaves galore!!
