“The gilding of the Indian summer mellowed the pastures far and wide.
The russet woods stood ripe to be stripped, but were yet full of leaf.
The purple of heath-bloom, faded but not withered, tinged the hills…
~Charlotte Brontë.

September is perfect for misty, quiet mornings, for dewy grass and jewelled cobwebs on the lanes. The sun rises slowly and softly, lighting the hollows and making the colours glow. But as always, the sheep are unimpressed, barely glancing up from their constant buffet. 🙄 Happy T-ewes-day!

“I can smell autumn dancing in the breeze. The sweet chill of pumpkin, and crisp sunburnt leaves.” ~ Ann Drake 🎃🍂🍁 🪵🍂🔥

“August was nearly over—the month of apples and falling stars, the last carefree month for the schoolchildren. The days were not hot, but sunny and limpidly clear—the first sign of advancing autumn.” ~ Victor Nekrasov 🍂🍎🍂🍎🍂

There is something quietly magical about these final days of August, when summer still lingers but the first whispers of autumn can already be felt. 🍂🌾✨
