Golden Leaves


Lo! I am come to autumn,
When all the leaves are gold;
Grey hairs and golden leaves cry out
The year and I are old.

So true, those words, but I need to have spring somewhere there. Love the milky water, and leaves from green to gold.Nature is always sure to give us so much beauty, down here, green leaves on so many trees, tulips standing tall and proud, a few late daffs with frilly apricot centres, mornings are warmer, no fires needed now , next winter's firewood is half way cut and split, and best of all, Hugh's cataract surgery was arranged so quickly. Next Tuesday is the day.
