As the weather gets colder and autumn has arrived - the summer harvest has all been picked. The seasons grapes have been turned into wine.
Easter has come and gone and we are travelling into winter.
The autumn colours have arrived the yellowing and mellowing of the leaves, the vines and trees are loosing their leaves and soon the pruning will begin - when the crops are dormant and have gone to sleep.
So as to prepare for the next years harvest. Will they awake too soon as the seasons have been so erratic we no longer get the longer winters - they are shorter and not as cold.
And nature is she not finding her way, as the seasons have been erratic. Do the daffodils flower too early, there is such confusion when in one day we get all the seasons.
Or is this the cycle we are progressing to - has human kind had it too well over the last thousands of years - may be this is another cycles on earth. Will there be a turn around.
Will winter come and bring the rains that are so needed in this dry place - we have not had very much rain and it is needed so.
The days are warm and the evenings cooler.
For this we give thanks.
What a lovely evening we have had, a good meal, good wine and good company.
