Autumn colours
I walk down this little path every day to open the chickens then through the vegetable garden and back up towards the house to open the geese and check the goats. Then I have a cup of tea.
I'll probably walk down this path four of five times in an average day but the morning stroll is the important one and starting the tour by this path has become a morning ritual. The path is crunchy underfoot with years of discarded mussel and oyster shells and in autumn it rustles with the sound of fallen sweet chestnut and oak leaves.
I've lingered a bit more than usual this week on the path - the colours are stunning and it's interesting to see the shape of the tree trunks emerging from the fallen greenery and the new growth of biennials like the Foxglove, Mullen and Evening primrose. Autumn is a lovely time of the year, especially when you're ready for winter.

Just beautiful!
Thank you for sharing. It's a day brightener. (You all should offer a little eco-tourism.)
There is something special about the light in Autumn...it really heightens the intensity of nature's colour.
Yes, especially in the evening just before the sun goes down.
Coming up to tomorrow's full moon the atmosphere is so amazing - it makes you feel as though you have just slipped into another world.
La traduction en français par Google est extraordinairement poétique et fait travailler l'imagination, mais on comprend tout quand même.
J'aime particulièrement le chapitre sur les poulets, les coqs :
j'ai presque envie de jeter quelque chose à eux quand ils commencent leurs ébats et les filles sont de plus nerveux et farfelus et si cela continue plus longtemps ils vont sortir des laïcs...
Merci encore pour ces récits et ces belles photos.

(une abonnée du forum Permaculture, au fait, vous ne voulez pas une tarare, by any chance ?)
Salut Anne-Lise,
Dommage je n'ai pas le temps d’écrire un autre blog en français eh ?
Non, je n'ai pas besoin de Tarare (qui me rappelle de tiare)!
Merci pour tes commentaires!
