Smoke from the Bonfire

Leaves on the trees are turning,
Yellow, brown and red,
Smoke from the bonfire burning,
Curling over head

Here comes Autumn,
Bringing the mist and rain,
Summer has gone for another year,
Autumn's here again.

I love Autumn; I think it may be my favourite season, but then I remember the long warm summer days, and think that might be; and I consider all the blossom and new shoots in Spring; and the snow days and being curled up snugly by the fire in Winter, and I really can't make up my mind.

One thing I am sure about though, is that the leeks are looking promising for a mid-Autumn harvest and the parsnips also look strong. The cabbage have given a few new leaves which I'll pop into stir-fried things, and I've got a few new round headed cabbages to put in this year instead of the pointy ones. Can't wait!
