All things change, nothing is extinguished. There is nothing in the whole world which is permanent. Everything flows onward: all things are brought into being with a changing nature…
Definitely the one in the photo, which is at the end of our garden… some kind of acer/maple. There are also a lot of beech in the woods near us, and they turn a kind of burnt orange colour!
Mary, I think many people are feeling it. Living close to nature we are bound to be affected by the seasons… If we “spring-clean” in spring, what do we do in autumn?! Thanks for commenting Mary!
Hi Strawberryindigo! We’ve had some chilly nights already… a few miles from here my friend said there was frost this morning! The leaves are going to be gorgeous again this year, and it’s only just begun!
We will be 70F today it has been in 30′s and 40′s F so not bad yes. I am praying for beautiful weather from Thursday on as we will be in a tent in the white mountains for a few days cooking over a fire and pulling Gold from the riverbed and laughing around a HOT FIRE if needed then when we come home we get serious about impending winter weather. We need to clear back brush once it is dead from first frost then drop a few trees that are too close to the barn I will use them for poles in the garden or lash them into a Tee-pee Then again some out really badly formed Birch trees so I could use them as Yule Logs for gifts I will take 20′s and 30′s but hate the thought of Blizzards, Nor Easters and snow piling up to 3′ in each storm
Ah the change has started here too!
Hope it’s a colourful one where you are!
A lovely moment of Ovid to start my day. Thanks Cathy!
You’re welcome Verity!
Hei Cathy! You’ve really done a great job here, I love your blog <3
Miss you,
Lory
Hi Lory! How lovely to hear from you! Thanks! (Mail me and let me know how you’re doing.)
A wonderful true quote of Ovid! Yes, nature is changing and the life of human beings too…
Good morning Elisabeth. Change is inevitable, so we have to embrace it. Hope all’s well with you.
I listened to Ovid´s Metamorhphosis as Radio Reading over weeks – and loved it!!
How lovely! And I bet that’s easier and more enjoyable than just reading it.
Love the quote. You captured the mood so well with these images. Not much change here yet but the tree color is supposed to be terrific this year.
Well the reds seem to be here fairly early, but the yellows and golds are still to come…
I’m partial to the reds. Do you have a favorite?
Definitely the one in the photo, which is at the end of our garden… some kind of acer/maple. There are also a lot of beech in the woods near us, and they turn a kind of burnt orange colour!
Wonderful quote that captures my current state of mind. – http://mary-goingnative.blogspot.com/

I can’t bear the thought of winter either. Hope it stays mild for a while.
