The nice summer is finally over. Since yesterday, the weather turned around. No more blue skies and sunshine, but leaden clouds and rain. And it's cold, too. Only 12° Celsius right now. I already feel the moisture in my bones!
It shouldn't stay summer all the time, but I prefer dry weather. I don't mind cold as long as it remains dry and there's no rain in sight.
Of course, autumn also brings nice things. I like it when dark comes early, so you can cuddle up with a book and read in the cosiness of your living space. And autumn brings other food too. Witlof is best in autumn and winter, when you can buy the one out of the ground and not the hydro culture. The same goes for sprouts and cabbages - all favorites of mine. There are nuts as well. We have a hazelnut tree at the back of our garden. My sister once planted it on Plant-a-Tree Day more than 40 years ago. The sapling of then has turned in a big tree!
When we were kids, our grandma baked waffles and pancakes when autumn came and made big pots of hot chocolate for us and our friends. Ah, youth memories! The older you get, the dearer they become, don't you think?
