The leaves have come down heavy today. Our garden has plenty of large trees on the perimeter fence. Horse Chestnut and Oak, however it always suprises me every year the different stages these trees are at. Looking out from my study window, the view in the picture, there are two trees that are so much earlier than all the rest. They are only about 50 metres at most from the rest of the trees, but they always flower, leaf, produce conkers, and drop their leaves before the rest. By about 2 weeks. As you can see they have already done their autumn shedding. However, the rest of the trees started the big push today… so my garden is now covered in a blanket of leaves.
FOREVER AUTUMN
Justin HaywardThe summer sun is fading as the year grows old
And darker days are drawing near
The winter winds will be much colder
Now you’re not here.I watch the birds fly south across the autumn sky
And one by one they disappear
I wish that I was flying with them
Now you’re not here.Like the sun through the tres you came to love me
Like a leaf on a breeze you blew awayThrough autumn’s golden gown we used to kick our way
You always loved this time of year
Those fallen leaves lie undisturbed now
’cause you’re not here
’cause you’re not here
’cause you’re not hereLike the sun through the trees you came to love me
Like a leaf on a breeze you blew awayA gentle rain falls softly on my weary eyes
As if to hide a lonely tear
My lift will be Forever Autumn
’cause you’re not here
’cause you’re not here
’cause you’re not hereLike the sun through the trees you came to love me
Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away.Through autumn’s golden gown we used to kick our way
You always loved this time of year
Those fallen leaves lie undisturbed now
’cause you’re not here
’cause you’re not here
’cause you’re not here
Autumn
