Oranges, browns and golden becoming the season’s hues. Leaving swallows gather, to share preparation’s news. Mist lays still in morning valleys. Berries drop from heavy stems. Dew sits thick on grassy leaves, as summer slowly ends. Stubble softens after harvest. Apples swell until they fall. Pears crack while wasps work hard and temperature becomes more cool. Hedge cutters start. People hustle. Busyness returns to town, life to normal bustle. Evenings shorten socks are found. Children back to school. Ploughing turns the ground.
